Plastic surgery not explosives

Rating: 4/10 (29 August 2012)

Dad's Army with nips and tucks. Of the veterans,only Bruce Willis seems to have avoided the botox brigade. Arnold, Claude and Sly have eyebrows doing a 'stick up' although they still have bundles of charisma. I don't think I have seen a film with so much action and so little plot.It leaps out like a Marvel comic..ug ug ug ug ..bang bang bang bang bosh.kerrrpow. I thought the cinema was going to explode. Arnie still wins the humour stakes whilst Jason Statham holds his own against a parade of stars. I think the plot is: We'll have a big shoot out in a barracks, then an airport, then a plutonium mine, then a disused film set, but not necessarily in that order. I can't see how you could possibly be bored. From the start it's noisy, vibrant, great fun and nonsense. However, it will never win any awards for culture or great acting.Shakespeare it ain't. I think it's almost impossible to write a spoiler for this old boiler!
