Old-school and New-school blend in.

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2011)

Sylvester Stallone still impresses me with his latest sprees of successful and plausible achievements. This film is right up my street, several famous actors from the 80s meeting up with the younger ones and proving that they do have some acting power and essence left to bring a good portrayal to their characters.
The Expendables is a pure action movie, no sex, no romance and it is no Hollywood-style car/girl-figure/muscle/gun porn. It is a story of a small tactical mercenary unit that are down to earth about the gravity of their assignments and best of all about this film, there is no obvious hero, there is a leader but there is no obvious hero who will save the day. They are all heroes in their own way.
It is a refreshing approach to a easy to follow plot and I had plenty of fun watching the characters interact with one another. 9/10, I hope the sequel brings more hardcore action and more "Umphhh!" because I am feeling hungry for more from the expendables.
