Film 152/365, Day 162/365 – The Expendables

Lots and lots of action.  Other than that however there isn’t too much to The Expendables and unfortunately that is why it won’t be remembered as one of the great action films.  The script was pretty awful and acting just as bad; the action was good but not brilliant.  I expected more if I’m honest.

Synopsis:  They are an expert military team available to hire.  They have no government affiliation.  They answer to nobody.  Ultimately however they are expendable.  Now they have been hired by the CIA to remove a former operative who has taken over an island and is running it as a base for his drugs operation.

  1. The script is terrible!! Pointless cameo by Arnie too! Still, lots of aimless action to enjoy!

  2. There was too many people to give them all enough screen time, in fact, I would've got rid of everyone but Statham and Li.
