The female version of The Expendables, Mercenaries, stars Zoë Bell, Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3), Vivica A. Fox, Nicole Bilderback and Cynthia Rothrock as all-woman Dirty Dozen, and the monstrous Brigitte Nielsen as a Khazakstan warlord whose kidnapped the president's daughter. It may not have the Expendables' budget, but as far as overtly comic-booky shlock action goes, I liked it more than that film. The action isn't particularly strong (though it has its moments), and the effects are terrible, but it's a fun entry in the genre by virtue of its badass attitudes. Rothrock, Nielsen and Fox are quite a arch, truth be told, but Bell and Loken are strong onscreen presences without having to mug the camera. A bit of fluff and mayhem that doesn't manage to wear on the nerves, which for this sort of thing, is a victory all by itself. 7 years 9 months ago
