Some people should quit when they are ahead. That means you Mr. Stallone.

Rating: 3/10 (22 August 2010)

Please stop directing any more films Sly. The man doesn't know when to quit directing and acting. First we had to endure his Rocky Balboa (2006)and then John Rambo (2008). Now he wants to redeem himself with yet another whopper The expendables (2010). Should have kept a better title like "Bunch of guys in a mid-life crisis" or "Guys that haven't been laid in a while", or my favorite "Grumpy Old Men". But you can't keep Sly down.
Should I say unbelievable cast of actors come out retirement. Lets see...
Sylvester Stallone=old+bad accent (sorry Sly Adrian's Dead), Bruce Willis=old+bald too (hey Willis this ain't Die hard pal), Arnold Schwarzenegger=old+bad accent (wow you're finally back Arnold!), Mickey Rourke (you're in the wrong film dude), Gary Daniels (where the hell has this guy been hiding? In jail???), Dolph Lundgren (poor guy IS getting senile), Steve Austin (ex W.W.E. wrestler. Got paid in beer kegs. Who needs money anyway when you get paid in beer?), Jet Li (Bonus stunt guy and Chinese cook, very useful), Jason Statham (hired actually for position of driver), Eric Roberts (Sly begged him to sign-up).
Well? Need I add more? Plot details???
Who need a plot when these assortment of confused and angry dudes with a hard-on collide.
Synopsis for all you kiddies out there. THE EXPENDABLES is a hard-hitting action/thriller about a group of mercenaries hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator...
Well are you happy now kids!!!
Stallone should stick to a lower profile job like directing children's shows, cartoons, stand up comedy, stocks or the weather report. Or should start his own daddy-day-care.
My vote is 3 out of 10. Sorry Sly. Better luck in the afterlife.
