"Pretty Good Action Flick!"

Rating: 6/10 (16 July 2012)

Sylvester Stallone directs and stars in this 2010 action film that co-stars Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews and Mickey Rourke. Barney (Stallone) is a mercenary who leads a group of men, Christmas (Statham), Yang (Li), Jensen (Lundgren), Road (Couture) and Caesar (Crews). Barney is hired to go to a South American village to meet contact, Sandra (Giselle Itie) for info on a corrupt General, Garza (David Zayas). He takes Christmas with him and they meet her and discover she's Garza's daughter who wants to rid him. Barney and Christmas escape after she wishes to stay, but Barney returns with his team to save her and the village. Roberts plays former CIA operative, Munroe who is Garza's boss, Austin plays Munroe's right-hand tough guy, Paine and Rourke plays Barney's tattoo artist pal, Tool. Charisma Carpenter (Angel) is also featured as Christmas' girlfriend, Lacy and Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger have cameos. This is a pretty good action flick and it's nice to finally see Sly with Arnold as well as Bruce and Dolph. I recommend this.
