The Expendables
Is it a covert CIA operation or a damsel-in-distress rescue mission? Writer/director Sly Stallone casts himself as the hero (of course) with Jason Statham and Jet Li doing the heavy lifting and Terry Crews carrying the big gun. The bad guys are bad, but the good guys are BAD-der. This elite lean mean killing machine team is pumped with testosterone. The explosions are huge and loud, but much of the hand-to-hand combat scenes cheat with quick film cuts. California’s current governor makes a brief appearance just to trade insults with these soldiers of fortune and ends up the butt of the movies biggest joke. This action-packed thrill ride is exactly what you would expect from this macho macho gathering.
Alien gives it 3 "knives, motorcycles, and tattoos at Tools" stars out of 4.
