The Expendalbles

finally we got to watch a movie just the two of us - can't remember how long it has been since we've been to the cinema without the kids tagging along! my Husband is a big fan of action movies (no surprise there) so i suggested we go see the new action flick with a lot of "mature" action heroes.



Barney Ross leads the "Expendables", a band of highly skilled mercenaries including knife enthusiast Lee Christmas, martial arts expert Yin Yang, heavy weapons specialist Hale Caesar, demolitionist Toll Road and loose-cannon sniper Gunner Jensen. When the group is commissioned by the mysterious Mr. Church to assassinate the merciless dictator of a small South American island, Barney and Lee head to the remote locale to scout out their opposition. Once there, they meet with local rebel Sandra and discover the true nature of the conflict engulfing the city. When they escape the island and Sandra stays behind, Ross must choose to either walk away and save his own life - or attempt a suicidal rescue mission that might just save his soul.

if you are looking for a "thinking" movie this ain't it. with the impressive list of action heroes it should have been kick ass awesome but this movie just left me disappointed - the action was great (the blowing up part) but most of the dialogue was terrible (seriously couldn't understand what they were saying!) - who wrote the stuff?! and what was up with the fight scenes?! scenes were jumpy and confusing - gave me a damn headache lah. i would have liked to have seen a little more screen time from Jet Li (as he's my favourite). luckly we went on Wednesday which only cost us RM12. it's simple - you either going to like it or hate it.
