The Expendables: DVD Review
The Expendables
Rating: R16
Released by Roadshow Entertainment
With a powerhouse line up of former action heroes (Stallone, Statham,
Rourke, Lundgren) like the Expendables packs, you would expect something either
a) pretty spectacular or b) vaguely nostalgic.
Sylvester Stallone writes, directs and stars in this tale - here he's
Barney Ross the head of a mercenary unit who we first see in action taking down
Somali pirates who're holding a group of people hostage.
Needless to say they're all crack action heroes and as a unit are
available for hire.
Armed with guns, explosives
and the ability to kick ass, the Expendables head to Vilena to fight for
freedom. But what they don't know is that someone's double crossing them.
With bad dialogue, little emotion and a relative lack
of plot, there's little to inspire here - though if you're after watching some
of the heroes of your youth in action, you couldn't ask for more.
Nostalgic it may be - and reasonably disposable fun it
is.
Extras: Behind the scenes
interviews with the actors; much better to go for the Blu Ray with the big names
on the commentary track - The DVD's bounty is disappointing to say the least.
Rating: 5/10
