Here it is folks, the summer time blockbuster, just a little late, but still it is here. The typical 'check your brain' at the door and get entertained movie. I am talking about The Expendables co-written and Directed by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars in this "man's" movie.
There is no lack of testosterone in this movie. It is 103 minutes of pure action. It will make you laugh, and maybe even draw a tear, but most of all it will entertain you and that is all you can ask a movie to do at these prices today.
Starring a who's who of Hollywood's action movies the cast is headed by the aforementioned Stallone, Jason Statham, Mickey Roarke, Jet Li, Terry Crews, David Zayas, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, and many, many more plus a surprise cameo appearance (uncredited) by Bruce Willis and Arnold Shwarzenegger.
Filled with memorable one-liners, and just enough story to keep you interested, this is the type of movie where you buy the biggest bucket of popcorn and the largest drink and find a good seat and let yourself be entertained.
Filmed on locations in Brazil and South America, as well as in Los Angeles, Stallone knows how to keep the audience interested without hogging the screen. He spreads the parts out well among his friends, and you can they had a ball making the movie.
On the Junkie Meter, for entertainment value alone, this film gets FOUR big stars. Overall I think this film will be one of the bigger grossing movies of the summer. If action is what you like, and a pure adrenalin rush is what you want, then this is your movie. Don't miss it!!!
