The Expendables (2010)
Starring and directed by Sylvester Stallone one can confidently say it was everything that was expected. Gratuitousness violence, mercenaries struggling with their conscience and Stallone beating the crap out of people. His acting is mediocre and there's something visibly lacking in his performance. He co-stars alongside Jason Statham, although he does better than Stallone, he still seems to struggle to portray the emotions he's experiencing. The rest of the casting is adequate with Mickey Rourke being a bright spot and my favorite part of the movie.
The writing is acceptable but that seems to be a problem with most of the movie. Everything is mediocre but it seems to be a movie that is less than the sum of it's parts. For instance the romance between Sylvester Stallone and Giselle Itie was just awkward, especially since she is less than half his age.
Overall just a failed attempt with very little humor or fun to lighten up the mood. The movie was dark throughout which makes it difficult to see what's going on. In this instance though, it might be a blessing.
Fail - This makes the last Rambo look good.
