Guns go bang, bombs goes boom, leave your brain outside the room.

Rating: 5/10 (24 August 2010)

It's been a while since I've written a review, because generally, when I come to IMDb it's for good advice. Anything below a 5, I don't watch, coz life's too short. Less than a 7, then it depends on my mood. But it really gets to me when movies like this and Star Wars (the new crap) get overrated by the fanboys, hence this review.
First up: the movie isn't too lame, it's watchable. What you shouldn't expect is a classic. Liked Universal Soldier, Rambo, Predator, Die Hard? Watch them again and wait for this DVD. My main beef is the plot – there isn't one. It's like the scriptwriters went on strike again, so Stallone went to a random movie generator website.
Random island, random bad ass, random chicks, random fights. There are the in-jokes, one liners, cameos galore, but somehow you can't feel anything for the characters. Best actor goes to Mickey, who was the only actor who remembered to act. I tried to ignore all this, but then they have to make the violence cartoonish? Braveheart had better fights, so this was either an effects fail or a cheese win.
