The Expendables
Action, Macho
2.5 stars
Disappointing. I so wanted to like this one. Sylvester Stallone stars in this silly action flick full of macho one-liners and pretty bad acting. Don’t get too excited about Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger since they are in only one scene, and from the extreme close-ups and constant cutting of the camera, it appears to me that they filmed their parts separately with body doubles and were later spliced together into one scene. Jason Statham, Jet Li and Stallone are the real stars and the other aging action heros all have smaller roles. The tough guys are hired to fly to a remote island and decimate its corrupt army to free the locals. The first person killed is literally blown in half, and I hate to say it, but I burst out laughing when it happened. Lots of explosions and mindless killings. Anyway, take it or leave it.
