Has Stallone re-invented the action movie?

Rating: 8/10 (24 August 2010)

People going to see this film should not go with an expectation of a great script/ plot, but instead just go and enjoy it for what it is. Stallone has put together a great ensemble cast of action heroes past and present. There are some amazing scenes in this movie that i will remember for a long time.
Jason Stathem really shines in this film and has great on screen chemistry with Stallone. Stallone and Rourke work well together, but other members of the cast could have been put to better us.
I feel that this film, accompanied by Rambo has shown that Stallone has developed a new, more ''gory'' type of action film. This film is not afraid to show its audience what happens when someone gets shot close range, it doesn't sugarcoat it like previous action films.
Great film, great action, great experience.
