‘The Expendables’ Review & Video: A giant mess
The Expendables
OUR VIEW
A ridiculous show of stunts and biceps with little things to cheer about. The cause may be noble but the implementation and means aren’t that much appealing. (Watch trailer below)
It’s like the saying, “too many cooks spoil the broth”. There are so many characters for the story to properly develop into an interesting action thriller.
Watch its only if you are sure you can take real nonsense.
