'The Expendables'

Trailer

* - one star - Sande

I would maintain that "The Expendables" is the best one star movie ever.

That is a rare feat. Never has a movie been so appropriately named from the point of view of effect on an audience. It is truly expendable.

Every macho male cliche is combined in this film - bikers, mercenaries, guns, knives, fights galore, bombs, one beautiful woman, lots of hatred and seething hissing, and scads upon scads of steroid propped up tattoo muscles. In fact there is so much steroid floating around in this movie that when I finished watching my abs and biceps now look impeccable.

One thing that I can never understand in fight movies like this is when the two rival groups finally have the big showdown. What happens after the initial confrontation is that the two groups pair off into fighting couples. Its like a high school dance. I'll fight this guy, you fight that guy. And then they fight to the conclusion, they go all the way. Its like there is an understood agreement that you pair off and fight. Where did this agreement come from? Its so freaking strange.
