The Expendables

A team of mercenaries head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. The team, nicknamed "The Expendables" is like the A-Team on Steroids....Literally... Sly Stallone leads the crew along with an iconic cast of action heroes... Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, and Bruce Willis. Also filling out the cast is a cameo from Arnie Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, and Terry Crews. (Terry Crews by the way, correct me if I am wrong, is maybe the ONLY actor who can play a role like he did in White Chicks and come into this film losing NO credibility as a tough action figure.... is it just cuz he is completely jacked? i dont know.)
As you can see, Stallone's film has enough stars to make at least 4 action films yet putting them all together left the film with NO moments of doldrums. This film is THE most intense action fighting I have seen. The fight scenes have so much blood and impact that I had to cringe at some of the moves that they were making... Statham's fight on the basketball court was by far my favorite. I urge all fans of Predator, Rocky, Rambo, Martial Arts Films, ANY 80's action flick to go and watch this film. You will NOT be let down.
