Very Good Action Movie

Warning - reviewer is over 50.

If you don't like action movies, you will not like this movie. If you like action movies, you will like this one. If you like 80's style action movies, you will love it. Great/funny one liners and action heroes who look like they can actually punch and take a punch. It also features a poor plot with many holes. But who cares?

Rewatch in preparation for EXPEND4BLES.

"THE EXPENDABLES isn't as fun as I hoped for. The testosterone-filled cast tries hard to make a forgettable, formulaic story borderline enjoyable, but the action set pieces are mostly an incomprehensibly choppy, badly lit mess, despite a couple of admittedly cool, violent stunts. Nice score, though."
