Expendable: capable of being sacrificed in order to accomplish a military objective.

Barney Ross (Stallone) is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas (Statham), former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang (Li), a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar (Terry Crews), who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road (Randy Couture), a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen (Lundgren), a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons.

When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza (David Zayas), the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Austin). When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. Perhaps, also, to save a soul: his own.

Well slap my a$$ and call me barry. ive never seen this many of my all time favourite actors in the same film ever. This all star cast is the only reason i watched this. Oh.. and the fact that the trailer looked uber cool :) yes.. uber ;)

Yeh ok.. ill agree with ya. The storyline was a bit shocking.. Ok .. shocking but who cares. You watch this because you love action, you love the fight scenes, you love the actors and most of all you want a brilliant film to watch.

In the end despite some draw backs and a small budget probably it still pulls it off. 4/5!!

 Not much point

This is terrible. Even if you like the 80's action flicks, big action, minimum script you still won't (shouldn't) like this. Its actually a terrible shame as i like a lot of these guys in their early movies and i hate to see them go out like this. Dreading that there might be an Expendables 2 as i think by that stage Stallone might have completed his transformation into David Guest's identical twin. All in all watching this film can be equated to watching your dad wearing your clothes, dancing at a night club and making moves on one of your female friends for one hour and 43 minutes

 Utter Dross

A few action scenes don't make a film, no script and a rubber faced stallone all make for a one star.

This was my Number One personally Hyped Up movie of the last year.
Ive been on a one man mission promoting this Beast of a Movie like I was on Sly Stallones pay roll.
I have hyped it due the cast but always made people aware that it was just gonna be a Trashy Fun Movie.
And that my friends it certainly is.

The story is plain 80s style average, the acting pretty wooden with the exception of one of Mickey Rourkes scenes.
This movie is all about the cast, and WHAT A CAST, Stallone, Statham, Li, Lundgren, Rourke, Austin, Roberts and Cameos from
Schwarzenegger and Willis. And that is the real pleasure, watching all these guys kicking ass in the same scenes.
The Arnie, Sly and Bruce face off was good, but could have been better and a little longer.

The film is averagely made and in parts and has a B Movie feel to it, but that maybe intentional.
The action scenes are Very Violent and Gory, but not very Imaginative.

Anyway this is not the sorta movie u pick holes in. It does what it says on the Tin. Enjoy
