pretty much delivers what you'd expect

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2012)

From actor, co-writer, and director Sylvester Stallone comes this old-fashioned, ensemble action romp about a group of elite mercenaries who are hired by a shadowy figure to travel to a small island in the Gulf and do battle with a tyrannical general who's overthrown the government, but upon their arrival they learn that there's a lot more to the job than they anticipated. Pretty much what you'd expect, with gratuitous cameos, corny lines, ultraviolent action scenes, and lots of things getting blown up real good. Doesn't utilize the full potential of all the members of its cast, but action fans just hoping to get a kick out of watching these actors work together may not mind; watchable, but nothing special. **
