The Expendables
All the action heroes (well, most of
them) in a huge blast-out of an action film, loaded with high-octane thrills.
‘The Expendables’ is about a team of
mercenaries (Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and more) who are hired
by a CIA operative to dispense of a Latin dictator and a renegade CIA agent.
That’s for the story, all the rest is
basically just blowing things up with heavy artillery, as you would expect from
a line up like this, and the mayhem is pretty consistent throughout. The
leading stars are overshadowed quite frequently by mega-blasts of blown up stuff,
but that’s what you mostly pay to see when you watch a film like this. Another
downside to the film is that some of the much hyped stars – example Arnold
Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis – are hardly in it and when they are all they
have to do is one scene where they just joke around.
Overall, this film is a joyous
experience if it’s full-blown popcorn action you’re after. For plot or
character, look elsewhere.
