THE EXPENDABLES by Sylvester Stallone
Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, cameos by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger – an 80’s action film fan’s dream cast, or so it seems. And there is a lot of action when Stallone’s gang of mercenaries rough up a dictator’s army of goons in a fictional South American country.
But instead of rebooting the action genre with with the benefit of hindsight, The Expendables is not much more than a revisit of the same old territory without anything new to say, and without the sizzle you are entitled to expect when all those heavyweights share the screen.
Not a complete dud, but sadly expandable.
