Good tongue in cheek cheese

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2010)

Well first thing I enjoyed this movie but I have to say that both of my friends who I went with did not recognise a few of the stars. Randy Couture and Gary Daniels (who is wasted) and also I had to explain Steve Austins credentials.
There is homage paid to everything from Rambo to cobra in this movie as well as a little joke for Arnold and you know the surname. Essentially a mercenary team who do what mercenaries do for money, the leader decides to save a girl who he falls for and you can work out the rest of the movie from there. I still love the way that Dolph Lundgren is portrayed as a meat-head but has a degree in engineering (I think) an amazing IQ and was also captain of his nations Karate Team (I know he is at least a 2nd Dan now, please somebody correct me if I am wrong). My main and only problems with this movie are observations that my friend made
Nobody got seriously injured (for the expendables) and the camera angles for the hand to hand combat scenes were all over the place.
I have to agree the guys in this movie do not need silly camera angles to look good. A good movie overall but definitely for the action and martial art geek like me who know all of their film stars.
