The Expendables 2 (2012)


A team of mercenaries are sent after a CIA package that pulls them into a personal war with a local warlord known for his ruthlessness. This is a serious testosterone luvfest! Action heroes of the 80's and 90's collaborate to make this an explosive adrenaline rush of campy one liners and inside jokes leaning on old roles played by these guys. Van Dame either drew the short or long straw depending on how you look at it and gets to play the bad guy the rest are out to get. This puts a whole new spin on the term 'Manwich'. Plenty of what was in the first one but much less serious. Fans of previous action players should find this worth their while. After the initial raid there isn't much in the way of graphic FX but the violence is comic book style... and they make a point of running out of ammo... lol... great fun! Recommended.
