The Expendables Review

The movie opens with a group of high trained elite mercenaries called the Expendables intercepting a ship trying to save a group of hostages from local pirates. The team consists of leader barney ross (played by Sylvester Stallone), former SAS and blades specialist Lee Christmas (played by Jason Statham), Martial artist Ying Yang (played by Jet Li), sniper Gunner Jensen (played by Dolph Lundgren), weapons specialist Hale Caesar (played by Terry Crews), and demolitions expert Toll Roads (played by Randy Couture). After investing gating a gun fight against the pirates Jensen and Yang have a disagreement after Jensen tries to hang a pirate. Ross kicks Jensen off the team due Jensen’s psychological problems and drug usage. Soon back in New Orleans, where the Expendables are based, ross meets up with Trent Mauser (played by Arnold Schwartzeneger) a rival mercenary to discuss business with a man by the name of Mr. Church (played by Bruce Willis). The mission was to fly to Isla Vilena to take down a dictator named General Garza (played by David Zayas). Mauser Busy with other things give the mission to Ross. Later Ross flies to Isla Vilena with Christmas to meet with contact Sandra (played by Gislie ItiĆ©). I praise this movie for its brutal action sequences military like missions and bad attitude, which is why I chose it for my pick of the week. I give this movie **** (*=star).
