The Expendables (2010)


The Expendables is an amazing movie, mostly because of the impressive cast of action stars from past to present. The general idea was to make a really cool action film to reflect those from the 80’s and Stallone’s glory days.

The story isn’t really that important, you’ll be watching this to see the incredible cast kick ass and blow shit up! It’s a lot of fun to watch and you can tell that making the film was even more enjoyable.

The violence is very similar to Rambo 4, another recent Stallone film which was utterly brilliant in my opinion. There’s a huge body count with gallons of CGI blood spraying everywhere. One of the characters wields a massive gun that rips people apart – that has to be seen!!! There’s also tonnes of explosions which would satisfy the likes of Michael Bay.

Both Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger have cameos, and at the same time. My only criticism is that Arnies bit part isn’t much longer than the clip shown in the trailer. I know he’s a busy guy these days but it would have been nice to see more of him especially in a short flashback action scene. Arnie actually looks like he popped onto the set whilst on the way to pick up his morning paper!

To be honest, Expendables reminds me of the Hulk Hogan/Carl Weathers/Shannon Tweed “Shadow Warriors” action films from the late 90’s more than any one 80’s film. I quite liked the Shadow Warrior films despite them being low budget, cheesy, straight to video productions. Click here for a trailer.

I doubt another film with a similar cast like this will ever happen again so make the most of the opportunity and check Expendables out. If you like action movies you will love this!
