The Expendables - Action Flick with Style
August 16, 2010
Have you watched The Expendables yet? Man, if you haven’t, I’m telling you now to go watch it. It’s not your usual action flick laden with too much computer graphics. It’s actually done in an old fashioned kind of way that I like, with tons of real, genuine and unadulterated fight scenes filled with real hand-to-hand combat, things blowing up, and blood oozing at various trajectories. In short, it was awesome!
Sylvester Stallone proved himself well as the producer, writer and director of this film. He made a great decision by forming an all-action star cast that is hard to beat - Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Steve Austin and Eric Roberts. Add to that the fact that Stallone has definitely gotten the merciless mercenary formula right! The style was even considered old-fashioned and in its simplicity, this action-packed, surprisingly funny and heartfelt movie truly captured what the audience wants in an action film — real action, macho men, blood and lots of things bowing up every five seconds!
The Expendables is definitely a movie to watch, even for people who are not much into action flicks like me! Heck, I never imagined myself enjoying the movie but there I was enjoying every minute of it! One of my favorite scenes was this cameo appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger. No more than five minutes into the movie, almost everybody at the cinema was already guffawing at the scene!
Here’s the traler if you haven’t seen it yet:
