Alien at the Movies

Those macho mercenaries, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), & Toll Road (Randy Couture), have returned for another covert mission but with some new faces joining the team… Megan Fox, 50 Cent, & Andy Garcia are among the new ensemble cast. After all, the title says it clearly. With each mindless iteration, you can plug in anyone to replace anyone in these forgettable scripts mainly written to feature explosive action, deadly hand-to-hand combat, & daring chase scenes while peppered with cheesy humorous lines. These lovable characters are quirky in their own ways. Its predictable script includes some treachery & betrayal, extreme violence, and some twists & surprises. This is more fun guilty pleasure entertainment than anything serious. Undoubtedly, there will be a sequel attempted for this franchise that no one actually remembers the missions & which stars were in it… Missions Forgettable.

Alien gives it 2½ “The Boys Are Back In Town” stars out of 4.
