The Expendables (2010)



It's a rarity that I would post a movie that's simply pointless and mindless action and violence, because you can see explosions and insurgents getting killed on CNN every day. However, when an action movie stars virtually every action star from the past 20 years in a super-movie of sorts, it somehow becomes blog-worthy. Such is the case with the movie 'The Expendables'. Yes, the movie looks to have the depth of a puddle, but where else will you see (breath) Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, and Stone-Cold Steve Austin on the same screen in a flurry of fire, bullets and terrorist scalps?? Nowhere. The Expendables' premise is that of every war action movie lately, a group of rad-tad foreigners go to a 3rd world country and try to overthrow their oppressive leader. Nothing more, nothing less. I suppose there won't be an ounce of estrogen in the theater, but who cares? It's summer blockbuster season...
