The Expendables
This movie was pegged with so much hype, it would be impossible for me to miss it…so last night with Brian, Melanie. Milk and June…we headed to Tropicana City Mall to catch THE EXPENDABLES!!! And in case you’re wondering what the word Expendable means well it simply means: capable of being sacrificed in order to accomplish a military objective.
For those of you who have no idea what The Expendables is…here’s the movie poster…
Here’s a short synopsis:-
THE EXPENDABLES is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren’t quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger the men struggle with an even tougher challenge, one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers.
Sounds simple enough yes? Well, IT IS…which makes it such an AWESOME movie to watch. If ever you feel stressed and need to see people getting shot, slashed and just downright getting pummeled into a pulp…this movie delivers on all accounts…in the words of a friend, this movie is ‘clean and short’.
No complicated plots, no twists, just good old fashioned action…the only downside to the movie that was pointed out by Brian was the fact that the fight scenes were rather short and it was too hectic that you really couldn’t see who was beating up who…the main plus side of the movie was watching Sly, Dolph and Arnold back on the big screen…the reason I didn’t mention the rest is because Jet Li has been working quite a bit, so has Jason Statham and Terry Crews…even Mickey Rourke has been seen in Iron Man 2…so it was very AWESOME to see those 3 back on the silver screen…NICE…
All in all…the movie rocked!!! So if you’re in the mood for an old fashioned action flick…The Expendables is a MUST!!!
