Review of The Expendables (2010) by Huwd6 — 19 Nov 2010

This film is a bit of a mess. Although the action is there, most of the time the plot, characterisation and acting is not. Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo is pointless save for a joke about him 'wanting to be President', Mickey Rourke's part is well-written but the character is underused, and as for Jet Li's character he spends most of the film getting his ass kicked! The plot of overthrowing a Latin American dictator is confusing and serves as more a template on which the action was put on.

And Sylvester Stallone's relationship with a girl about 20 years his junior does slightly disturb...
