Review of The Expendables (2000) by President P — 12 Jun 2013
What was advertised as every action fans wet dream, Expendables really doesn't live up to that. Sure it as over the top action and the dialogue to fit, it really isn't anything special. The story is average, the writing screams 80s action flick, and the direction at times seems like Michael Bay was behind the chair.
The acting is another story, it needs to be said that all these action stars aren't really great actors and here it is very obvious. What made these actors great was they had real actors to surround them, here it's all big name blockbuster stars and is just hilarious to watch.
Expendables is decent if you want shit to blow up and watch endless action clichés, but other than that, it's nothing special.
