Review of The Expendables (2010) by Caomh M — 01 Sep 2012

A surprisingly half decent action film. It's got some good cheesy moments. A bit of a buddy cop style thing going on which throws back to the good old days of action films. Mickey Rourke was good, despite having a small role.

Great music, some bad cgi fire. Also nice to see some knife throwing again! Had some classic moments like the slow mo walk away & some great chopped off limbs. The puppet general & the suit were cliche flat characters.

Despite some great fights in the climax the ending was a bit flat. Probably still one of the best 'action' films of the last few years though.
