The Expendables 3
Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and the boys are back for more fun and war games. A daring prison escape, a mission gone awry, a time for new recruits, and a rescue mission are part of the plot-line Sly uses to prove older aging heroes of yesterday shouldn't be discounted in action films as well as in making action films. There are thrilling super stunts to tantalize the eyes and clever one-liners hinting at inside jokes. Sly rounds up another bunch of a dozen or so (proving anyone is can be replaced) of his pals to have fun in the sun shooting it up and blowing it up as well as taking verbal jabs at each other. The script plays to each individual's strengths and adds some new blood to the franchise to freshen it up. See Rocky/Rambo go toe-to-toe with Mad Max/Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson). You get exactly what you expect here. It's mindless fun for thrill-seeking junkies. A funny but appropriate karaoke song plays at the end.
Alien gives it 3 "dog-tags jangling" stars out of 4.
