There are also some scenes involving knives (particularly ones thrown by Jason Statham) that even made me flinch. This movie is full of action sequences, all of which are fun to watch. Eventually, they find that the real enemy is ex-CIA agent James Munroe (Eric Roberts) aided by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and a whole army of guerrilla soldiers. Their main mission in this movie is initially to overthrow a South American dictator in the fictional nation of Vilena. They go on high-risk missions, guns in hand, and pick up the money owed to them at the end of the day. The Expendables describes a team of what could be considered mercenaries, or bounty hunters.
This movie shows that they can still kick more ass than "Kick- Ass" (2010). Although the youngest of the Expendables (Jason Statham) is 37, they are far from a rag-tag crew. You've already read the names of the action stars who support him here. Although Stallone wears three heavy hats in this movie, he doesn't carry the weight of the movie on his own shoulders. Oh yeah, and he looks better than any 64-year-old I know of.
If anything, it's a further reminder that Stallone can still make engrossing films that defy target audience groups. Don't call "The Expendables" a comeback, though. It could be because he has arguably had more career comebacks than any actor in history. Stallone is one of those rare movie stars who, even in that period of time (circa 1998-2005) when he wasn't making many films, you never heard him referred to as a B-lister or a has-been. And who else leads the impressive roster of stars but the American dream himself, Sylvester Stallone, who also co-wrote and directed this movie himself. Even though the previews gave away the cameo by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, it still gave us just another reason to stand in line for this movie. Its cast is a who's who of established action film stars of the previous three decades. "The Expendables" is without question the most anticipated movie of the summer of 2010.
