The Expendables
Sure it's stupid. Borderline retarded in many places. Long stretches of
the film sound as though someone spent many hours taping random
conversations in bars at 1:30 in the morning, then transcribed the
recordings into a script. And there are plenty of "what the hell is
going on?" moments throughout. So why no outright HISS? Because it
delivers what it promises--plenty of satisfying "blow shit up" moments,
and there are just a few touches of decent direction here and there.
Stallone does know how to make a movie; he just doesn't always put that
knowledge to good use. In this case, as long as you don't pay for it, he
probably did just enough.
