Go back in history and Hollywood is littered with action heroes who have made a mark for themselves. The raw, unshaven and tough men have entertained audiences for years and now have beloved fan following. So how do you make the ultimate action movie? Go back in time and get all the big names that you can possibly assemble and ask them to appear in one movie. Forget scripts, forget acting but just remember to get tons of bombs and arsenal. A team of mercenaries formed by collecting elite but retired army men from around the world to carry out operations for anyone who has the money. Headed by Barney Ross (Stallone), the team consists of a blade specialist Lee Christmas (Statham), martial artist Yin Yang (Li), sniper Gunner Jensen (Lundgren), weapons specialist Hale Caesar (Crews) and demolitions expert Toll road (Couture). A man going by the name of Mr. Church (Willis) offers The Expendables, or as the mercenaries like to call themselves, an assignment to go to Vilena, an island off Mexico, to kill General Gaza (Zayas) the dictator of the island. Their rendezvous, Sandra (Itie) was supposed to help them but they get discovered by a team of Americans, loyal to a Mr. Monroe (Roberts). It appears that Monroe has been funding cocaine production on the island which has put the people in poverty and Gaza is now getting tired of Monroe's bullying tactics. The Mercenaries find themselves in a tight spot and hope that they can wriggle out of it, alive. Like I had mentioned, don't bother looking for a plot because this movie does not have one. The only things that it does have is either a gunshot or a blast, every three minutes. The movie is all about random objects blowing up, the lead hero never getting hurt and ridiculously insane stunts being pulled off with too much ease. The movie is a action-lovers delight but is forgettable otherwise.

Thumbs up: A big fat dose of action

Thumbs down: Nothing else worth looking out for, not even eye candy
