This movie is awesome. Just look at the names displayed on the poster. They are cross-generational action actors. In addition to (Sylvester) Stallone, the main actor who also acts as director and screenwriter, there are also (Jason) Statham, (Jet) Li, (Dolph) Lundgren, (Randy) Couture, (Steve) Austin, (Terry) Crews, (Mickey) Rourke, also (Eric) Roberts. That's all still accompanied by a cameo appearance of action actors who are now California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and veteran actor Bruce Willis.

It's just a tape, just awesome for the explosive action movie enthusiast, with the genre "champion must win". And the humor that exists is more striking for those who had witnessed Rambo or Commando in the decade of the 1980s. The youth of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This movie is like the action of Rambo and his friends, who are all champions. In this film, seven game fighters join mercenaries, while others act as their enemies. This mercenary group they named "The Expendables". This name was taken Stallone from the pieces of dialogue in the movie Rambo: First Blood II who once dibintanginya. That is, if in the movie Rambo says: "it's like when someone invites you to a party, but you do not come."

The story is simple. The Expendables led by Barney Ross (Stallone) received an order to overthrow General Garza, the leader of a fictitious country in South America. It turns out the general is just a doll figure from a former treacherous CIA agent, Monroe (Roberts). And more complicated, the general's daughter did not agree with her father so she helped The Expendables as a liaison. When the princess detained Monroe, at that time also The Expendables in action to free him as well as ending the power of Monroe. Of course a lot of fun scenes, including from Jet Li who in this movie funny always complain about his short posture as an Asian. There was also witty humor when Bruce Willis appeared to meet Stallone, suddenly the door opened and with an angel-like backlight arose Arnold Schwarzenegger! That humor when Arnold had stepped away for refusing work from Willis while saying he was busy, suddenly Stallone said "he wants to be a president!" And made Arnold turn and look at Stallone as if to say, "hey, I heard that!" (funny because in fact Arnold is the governor of California and allegedly will be going forward as a candidate for the coming US president).

What impressed me with the film, in addition to the success of Stallone collecting three-action fighters in a single movie, was the enormous 1980s CGI-style explosion effect, blood splashes everywhere, cool gun shows, but especially all actors had to playing a dangerous scene alone. Although there are stunt-men, but 85% of the scenes dilakoni own by them. Even actress Gisele Itie who plays the daughter of the general as well as connecting superteam in his country plays his own scene waterboarding, where he was interrogated with his hands tied and his face wrapped laps and water flushed until out of breath.

Perhaps it would be interesting if Stallone could make an action reunion reunion by bringing Steven Seagal and Jean Claude van Damme together. Blend of muscles and explosions will definitely trigger adrenaline. It's just that, need a stronger scenario to make the movie more enjoyable to watch the current generation, not just those who have seen young Stallone alone...resteem,,, steem sbd.....
