The Expendables

Type - Action
Review by Jon Cooper
Utter crap.  Rating out of 100 - 0

Naturally, I was expecting nothing more than a simple Hollywood shoot-em-up movie, complete with the usual stereotypical bad guys, tough guys, cool guys, sexy girl and of course corrupt, evil foreign dictator waiting to be overthrown by a crack team of American mavericks.

Nothing wrong with this kind of movie, some are really very good.

However, in every respect this film is appalling. Bad guys weren't that bad, tough guys not that tough, girl not that sexy, etc, etc.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that this film was offensively bad - with  zero effort put into direction, dialogue or action scenes. 

Even Jason Statham, (who can usually make even the poorest concept for a film look good  - think Transporter),  came out looking like a chump.

Considering this was probably Stallone's exit from cinema ( and I sincerely hope it is as he now looks so 'jacked up' on steroids he actually looks worse than Mickey Rourke) one would have thought that at least it would have had some money spent on it in the obvious areas - not so.

Low budget garbage. Do NOT waste your money finding out that you agree with me.
