He's back.

Rating: 8/10 (8 September 2012)

This is a solid action movie. It has lots of action, a good story, good acting and some snappy dialog. Sylvester Stallone plays the lead role with a combination of power and warmth and the rest of the cast is excellent too. The rapport between Mr. Stallone and Jason Statham is excellent; they make an effective action team. It was surprising to find Jean-Claude Vandam playing out of character, in this case, a despicable villain, but his performance is excellent. The presence of Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris also helps to make this movie a good entertaining experience. But ultimately, the reason why this movie succeeds is because instead of relying exclusively on flashy special effects and intense action sequences, the movie tells a story without which the movie would just be a lot of noise.
