The Expendables consists of the leader Barney Ross together with knife specialist Lee Christmas, hand-to-hand combat specialist Yin Yang, heavy-weapons specialist Hale Caesar, demolitions expert Toll Road, the unstable Gunner Jensen, and sniper Billy the Kid, the team's newest recruit and Ross' protégé.Apparently,Jensen and Billy The Kid are deployed to Nepal to rescue Dr. Zhou, a hostage. They also try to rescue the captured mercenary Trench, Ross's rival. Later, Ross is forced to accept a mission from CIA operative Mr. Church to retrieve an item from a downed airplane in Albania. But in Albania,the Expendables retrieve the item, but are then ambushed by international criminal and arms dealer Jean Villain, his right-hand man Hector and his mercenary group, who have captured Billy. Villain demands the item in exchange for Billy's life.But when they gave the item,they discovered Billy's dead body.Later,they bury their fallen comrade and swears vengeance for Billy.
The film basically follows the formula of the screenplay of the first Expendables movie.But this time around,they movie is a lot better as it has more talented action stars involved.They maybe old but they still can deliver the goods in an action flick.It remains excessive and over-the-top in its action scenes as well as the dialogues but apparently that is what this is the identity the movie franchise intends to be.The biggest achievement it had is the fact that it deserves another sequel.
