OK but should be amazing!

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2010)

With an action line up of this caliber it's easy to see how disappointing it eventually was. Promises of Bruce willis, schwartzenegger, mickey rourke, jet li, Jason statham, randy couture, Eric Roberts, stone cold Steve Austin, stallone, Gary Daniels, dolph lundgren and many more made every action fan wet their pants. Sadly what you get is too many people, not enough screen time. Many big names fall short of a starring role, unable to fully be a part of it. Arnie and Bruce in a very weak cameo that looks almost like a laboured add on scene made so that their names could be dropped into the posters. Jet li fights that are so edited they break up his natural skills and speed plus Mickey Rourke sitting on a chair smoking a pipe like some sort of sage like caterpillar spouting advice to a very lost Alice... Er I mean stallone. Very misused people. Still it's enjoyable, several scenes made me smile including the initial escape stallone and statham perform from the island. Plus the opening scene. Dolph Lungdren is by far the unsung hero of this film though, his character is viscously under used and the most interesting, he should get better parts. So is this the final 80's swan song to action movies? No, you only need to look at the last Rambo for that. This, however could be a new action franchise as long as they don't try to use cheap name dropping tactics to sell the sequels!
