GENRE: Action
RATING: R for strong bloody violence
RUNTIME: 1 hour and 43 minutes
STARRING: Sylvester Stallone (Rambo, Rocky Balboa)
Jason Statham (Transporters), Jean-Claude VanDamme (JCVD)
DIRECTOR: Simon West (Con Air, The Mechanic)
WRITERS: Richard Wenk (The Mechanic, 16 Blocks)
Sylvester Stallone (Expendables, Rocky, Cliffhanger)
PLOT: The Expendables are back in business for an easy paycheck but one of their own loses their life, prompting swift and brutal revenge.
FIVE OBSERVATIONS:
1 The first Expendables seemed to have some fun introducing their ragtag group of characters. This one seems to have even more fun. Better one-liners and humorous moments throughout. Terry Crews and Dolph Lundgren get more laughs this time around.
2 The story is a little stronger than the first film. Only a little bit though.
3 It’s fun watching Van Damme kick again. I haven’t seen a movie with him in a long, long time. Brought back some memories.
4 The blood splatters a lot in this film. Disturbing at times.
5 Chuck Norris is the man. He even gets to tell a Chuck Norris joke!
RECOMMENDATION: Things go boom work well in theatres
