The Expendables
Barney Ross leads a band of highly skilled mercenaries including knife enthusiast Lee Christmas, a martial arts expert Yin Yang, heavy weapons specialist Hale Caesar, demolitionist Toll Road, and a loose-cannon sniper Gunner Jensen. When the group is commissioned by the mysterious Mr. Church to assassinate the dictator of a small South American island, Barney and Lee visit the remote locale to scout out their opposition and discover the true nature of the conflict engulfing the city.
Critics Sentiment
The Expendables infiltrate and assault Garza's palace
Tool makes confession about letting woman die
The film recovers dramatically from Mickey Rourke's criticized emotional monologue to the praised final action sequence.
The Expendables delivers a nostalgic throwback to 80s action films that starts strong, stumbles through character development in the middle, but redeems itself with an explosive finale. Critics appreciated the cast chemistry and action sequences while criticizing the rushed story and tonal inconsistencies. The film succeeds as mindless entertainment for action fans despite its narrative shortcomings.
