The Dirty Dozen is Basically The Expenables 1967

Rating: 9/10 (9 February 2017)

Or: The Expendables is basically The Dirty Dozen 2010's, that was my point, it is completely derived from The Dirty Dozen. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's obviously the blueprint for so many action movies that followed. A lot meaner and funnier than I expected going in. Everyone's so young and alive! Charles Bronson had yet to grow his trademark moustache and Donald Sutherland looks like a teenager.
I enjoyed this movie and the odd cast mixing together. Telly Savalas as "Maggot" was one creepy weirdo! Makes you wonder how this sort of movie plays in Germany, if at all?
