Waste of a great casting team, it could've been better.an-eye-for-a-diamond
Nothing happens. Unspeakably dull.Siskoid
It's hard not to like the premise behind Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables - an old school action film featuring a number of action stars (and wrestlers) from the 80s and 90s (plus Jason Statham, but he's their spiritual successor). What works is that these guys are basically playing their action personae 10-20 years on, tired, damaged and nihilistic, and perhaps in need of redemption. It's in the character moments that this movie shines, with the one Oscar moment going to Mickey Rourke. Where it doesn't shine so much is in the plot and action. Far too many fights are played in the dark and go on too long - in fact, if the action scene is in daylight, it tends to be pretty awesome, if not, it gets dull pretty fast. Tributes to 80s action films are fine, but updating the genre a little bit would have been nice, in particular the role of women in this. They're basically victims of violence and while my hat goes off to Giselle Itié for agreeing to be waterboarded for real, it still doesn't sit well.Camille Deadpan
Ah what a lovely throwback to the cheesy 90's. Bad dialogue, machism and muscles.danisanna
It's an action movie that you can just watch and enjoy, no brain activity needed! lol I'm not a movie snob so I do enjoy one of them once in a while. Great action sequences! Defo worth a watch if you're in the mood for some action.It's just that ... the amount of big shot dudes is massive. Everywhere you look, there's a big movie star. And with such a cast, it feels like wasted opportunity not to give them more content to properly sink their teeth into a role.
Then again, ... perhaps I expected too much. It's not like their individual movies have much content too.

Always wanted to see all these guys together but not much for story. Hoping the second one has that.rebeldesigns
Terrible. Even the action scenes sucked.nick121235
not that bad for a 'macho man' movie but that cgi is awful.Carota
Dreadfully boringSkilledLunatic
And don't know why people were expecting a plot whatsoever. Its stallone, lundgreen, randy coutore, steve austin, jet li, statham, crews. If you see their movies you know what to expect. Plausible? No. But good fun. 6/10samfenn
Harmless action flick. Deserves no more respect than a film like Commando, but it was darned entertaining.meysam_a
such a waste... :-/spongemoon
Really dull. Jason Statham was the only good thing about this movie.Dieguito
Terrible movie gathering the most mediocre actors of Hollywood. The only two good things is that it was filmed in Brazil and stars the hot Giselle Itie.BeasleyOnFilm
Really dull first 45 minutes, but then a mental final hour that, whilst not great, was certainly good fun. Statham is the only cast member who is actually watchable as an actor.Showing items 1 – 15 of 53
