The Biggest Disappointment Of The Year

Rating: 1/10 (19 August 2010)

I remember the time when I first saw the announcement for this movie. Great crew, the best there is, what could possibly go wrong? The expectations were very high, but this turns out to be just another cheap "America saves the day" pattern.
Now, where should I start? Crew: Bunch of old men who wants to look younger at any price. Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, Roberts, Rourke... They should simply go to history and remain what they presently are- the stars that we were growing up with instead making fun of themselves trying to pump some muscles at the age of 60+. They look ridiculous and I am being gentle in my criticism.
The special effects are awful. I do no know the budget limit that this movie had, but that stupid scenes when Stallone jumps into moving plane (!?) or Statham shoots from the same plane at the docs, they look like they were filmed 20-30 years ago.
The storyline is awful. Schwarzenegger has one minute roll, practically as some stunt, but I guess they needed his name for the commercial. Brus Willis as well- he is there to hire them and not a single word from him to the end of the movie. Lundgren is a psychopath who tries to kill them all and, at the end, he is a good guy and they are drinking beer all together. And Stallone is going to attack whole sovereign state all by himself because he wants to save one girl and redempt his soul that way?! Come on! I am sick and tired of the same old pattern where Americans are good guys and I am bored by their disrespect for the Eastern- Europe ex socialistic block and South America countries. For example, Rourke calls Serbian national drink sh** even it is a hundred times better and healthier than whiskey (In one interview from 04.05.2008. Rourke called himself a Serb and promised to visit Serbia!?). And if the CIA wasn't interfere in Bosnia, there wouldn't be any war in the first place.
This is where the problem is- the big movie stars are used to spread American propaganda over the world through shallow and insulting (for the ones intelligence) movies like this.
I am truly sorry about is the fact that Lee and Statham decided to take part in the most stupid project of the decade.
Justified killing in the name of America, one gun vs hundred automatic rifles, botox faces, awful scenario, poor lines, bad acting. Don't be fooled with rating- this grade is not proper measure of the movie quality. My advice: look at this movie and see for yourself how ridiculous, shallow, insulting and empty it really is.
