Perfect for a weekend matinee

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2019)

Imagine all the greatest action stars put into one epic action movie. If you thought that idea sounds cool, you've probably seen The Expendables. If you liked it, you'll probably want to watch The Expendables 2. The original cast of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture continue on, with a couple of new faces: Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. With those added action heroes, how can the movie be bad? It's not.
With just as much action and edge-of-your-seat scenes as the first one, but with much more humor, The Expendables 2 is a guaranteed good time if you're looking for something to rent for this weekend's matinee. I'm not even the target audience for this franchise, but I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Obviously, guys will love it, but even the girliest of girls might still have a good time. And when you're done, you can check out The Expendables 3, with Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, and Antonio Banderas added into the action hero list!
