The Expendables


An awesome action fest!! Thats what you expect from The Expendables and that what u exactly get!! The Expendables team rocked big time! It was such a pleasure to see all these great guys kicking in their own way together!

Let me start by saying the story is weak. Yes the writers missed a few tricks and some abrupt cuts made it look a bit hurried. But then again it has a fairly simple story line. The Main focus has always been the action, style and coolness along with plenty of nostalgia when these greats come together from past and present generation and you expect them to do what they do best! Guns, bullets, knives, bombs, bodies, gore, blood, fire - you get everything!

The cast:- Stallone-Hats off to this guy what a sheer champion! For god sakes he is 64 years old and the stunts and risks he is taking to please his fans are far more than what he used to do in his prime. Total respect for him. There is none like him and at this age doing what he is doing, running and jumping around like he was in his 30s!


Statham is super cool and ultra smooth is his performance. His dialogue delivery was good.

Jetli - The comic of the group, does his usual martial arts..

Lundgren - Watch out for this guys act! Too cool and total Insane!! Much like his earlier days and he looked very fresh too.

Austin - Did well for his part. Good fight scenes with Stallone

Terry crews - Another Cool character. I would want to see more of him in the sequel.

Randy couture - MMA champ takes on WWE champ. What happens is to be seen!

Arnold Schwarzenegger - What an entry! Seeing Arnie after such a long time made me nostalgic and he and Stallone sharing screen space made cinematic history and is one the biggest moments of The Expendables!

Willis - He joined in with the two great people to make it the Golden Three. That scene should be up in the hall of fame.

Rourke - Very yanky daddy character

I thought this movie could have been much better if some of scenes were included and watch out for the cool music as well. All in all a very old-school movie, lots of blood and guts and gore. Its not your cup of tea if you have grown up on sissy films. This is for real men! Thank you Stallone for bringing this and for bringing together such great actors together on the screen.
