The Expendables(Movie Review)

So recently I watched The Expendables. You know, the movie overflowing with action superstars such as Jason Statham,Sylvester Stallone,and wannabe action star Randy Couture. Yeah that one. It's directed and co-written by Stallone.

It's a solid movie about Stallone and his crew of mercenaries. They're hired by this private contractor to go overseas and overthrow a corrupt regime. The action is over-the-top and visceral. Great stuff. However, all the characters weren't really needed in all honesty. The movie could have been cut down to about an hour and a half instead of two.

Stallone is depicted as an aging mercenary who has lost his soul/heart along the way. By saving a corrupt general's daughter he saves his soul in the process. Sweet isn't it?

Anyway,my main point is if you like action movies and you have nothing better to do, go out and watch this movie. But don't expect gold or anything special.
