THE EXPENDABLES (2010)
Featuring: Sylvester Stallone; Jason Statham; Jet Li
Director: Sylvester Stallone
From one Sly Stallone project to another:
Although The Expendables was not exactly Sly's brainchild (that honor goes to David Callaham) he did write the script and directed the film. But this movie's actual claim to fame is, of cause, its ensemble cast. Some of the biggest action stars from the '80s and '90s make their appearance in some way, shape or form over the course of the three films of this franchise.
In this first film of the series we meet Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and his initial band of merry men; guns for hire who call themselves 'The Expendables'. But when they are engaged by the mysterious Mr Church (an uncredited Bruce Willis) to take out some unknown South American dictator, things do not go exactly as planned.
So, if you like mindless action with a lot of blood, guts and exploding heads, then this one is definitely for you. The plot is a bit thin but on the other hand, it stars one of the best baddies in the business: Eric Roberts. And that alone, at least for me, makes this movie worth watching.
My rating? A solid 3 out of 5 stars...
