The Expendables
Mercenary leader Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and his loyal men take on what they think is a routine assignment: a covert operation to invade the South American country of Vilena and overthrow its dictator.

Take this as either a) a reason to question the review that follows, or b) evidence that Internet crowd-sourcing isn't going to make professional critics obsolete for a while yet. As I type these lines, Sylvester Stallone's ode to schlock (or is that "eau d'schlock"?) "The Expendables" has an IMDb user rating of 9.0 out of 10.
(Full review)In the rousingly explosive '80s-pulp climax of The Expendables, Sylvester Stallone's old-tin-soldiers-of-action mercenary thriller, the director-star and his right-hand lug, Jason Statham, lead a band of commandos in an assault on the island fortress of a corrupt general. The funny thing is, they don't really have a plan. The ''plan'' is this: They show up and attack the general's men with fists, knives, and very big guns. The way that Stallone directs, though, every machete thrust and relentless round of bullet spray is staged with a certain undeniable...conviction.
