The Expendables in Sylvester Stallone's homage to 80's action films and he seems to have most of the leads collected. The plot is minimalistic: Barney Ross (Stallone) and his chums go off to rescue a woman from a dictator.

Maybe it's because I don't have fond memories of the actors but I didn't really enjoy The Expendables. The only stars that I was looking forward to seeing (Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger) only turning up in one very short scene. The rest is just explosions and a body count that gets a bit boring. Apparently the sequel's better but we would have to see.

****Good
