They needed 5 guys to do a single man's job...

Rating: 6/10 (4 October 2010)

I remember when I was a kid, I always was wondering: "How an action movie could be if they put together Stallone, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis?" A total blast, for sure!! Well, after 25 years I saw the light... A trailer of "the expendables" and I said: "Finally,now I can die in peace." I have to remark, that previously (some weeks ago), I had suffer the big disappointment of "the A team" movie.
And there I was, in front of the big screen. The movie started with a very nice action scene. Stalllone and his team looked undefeatable. Then, it happened: I catched myself thinking: "this looks like "commando", it's the very same plot" I tried to keep away that off my mind, but when the movie ended, I couldn't help it: I saw a group of buddies, trying to save a girl kidnapped by a southamerican dictator and his whole army, inside a castle (why directors believe ALL southamerican dictators DO live in a castle?). They had the attitude, the airplane, the skills, the muscles, the foes and even the bad lines of... John Matrix!! 25 years ago, John Matrix did the same. I wonder why they needed 5 guys to do the same thing now. Yes: they have nice motorcycles, tattoos, money and some of them have hot girlfriends...
But it still was the same thing.
I give 6/10, because I thank they made the effort. and because it's entertaining... as "Commando" was 25 years before.
