Plus, the much buzzed about scene with Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger is only one of the film’s many highlights.
The Bigger Picture: Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews (Middle Men), UFC fighter Randy Couture, plus the aforementioned Stallone and Statham are a team of mercenaries paid to rid global hotspots of ruthless dictators by any means necessary. In this installment, our heroes travel to South America to root out evil in the form of Eric Roberts, the dictator of a small island.
Director Stallone (who cowrote the script with David Callaham) knows the real reason to see this movie is the chance to witness some of the biggest action stars of ’80s, ’90s and ’00s mix it up. And the jam-packed 100 minutes allows each member a scene that kills… literally.
Surprisingly, amid all those fatalities is a lot of talking. Even more surprising is that it’s really entertaining talking.
