To be honest, there's very little new in this formulaic action adventure. It's the usual old who has got the launch codes mystery that sees Sly Stallone's "Barney" recruit his best mate "Christmas" (Jason Statham) and their lethal gang of expendables to thwart the ambitions of an unknown criminal mastermind who is hoping to arm a boat load of nuclear missiles and start WWIII. Thing is, tragedy strikes very early on in the film and "Christmas" is taken off the team that is sent to avenge that. Is…

It's all simply rather dull. Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone (who is strangely, given …

I was not impressed by this addition to The Expendables series directed by Scott Waugh. This might be the very last one since the entire hook of these movies is a homage to old skool action stars from the decades 80s and 90s kicking ass in a new type of role lead by Syvester Stallone. Jason Statham basically takes over this entire movie. His fighting style is ruthless and filled with snarky comments for almost every kill. There really isn't much for the other actors to do in this movie.…
