An entertaining action film

Rating: Null/10 (15 August 2013)

This film is about a group of fighters who try to stop people from stealing plutonium from a disused Russian mine.
The amount of action scenes in "The Expendables 2" is quite mind blowing. The film starts off with a five minute street battle scene with heave artillery, and we don't even know why they are fighting. Forty minutes into the film, we finally know the aim of the mission. There is so much fighting, gun shots, aerial chases, bombs going off and heads blown off, that I sometimes forget there is actually a plot! It is s action intense that it becomes funny. For example, they slide off a wire and shoot bad guys, and they manage to kill someone with every bullet! Well, at least they are wearing bullet proof vest, so that makes it a little more believable.
Dialogs are sparsely interspersed, and mostly they are one liners that are so bad that it becomes good. For example, "I pronounce you man and knife" is just plain funny. The blood splatter from gun shots are so comical that it looks more like a paint ball fight. And characters burst out from nowhere and save the day! Oh how convenient! Don't get me wrong, "The Expendables 2" is an entertaining action film, because of all the unlikely action scenes.
