Our take on The Expendables

Sylvester Stallone's 2010 action thriller assembles a band of hardened mercenaries around leader Barney Ross, among them knife expert Lee Christmas, martial artist Yin Yang, heavy-weapons man Hale Caesar, demolitionist Toll Road and loose-cannon sniper Gunner Jensen. Hired by the mysterious Mr. Church to assassinate the dictator of a small South American island, Barney and Lee scout the terrain and uncover the true nature of the conflict tearing the place apart. Built as a throwback to muscular, practical-effects action, the film runs on firepower, camaraderie and gruff one-liners. It's made for viewers who want unpretentious, old-school mercenary spectacle and a stacked tough-guy roster.
