80s action movies are known for the extreme action, deplorable acting, great one liners and twice over, action. The Expendables brings in an a-list cast of action stars both past and present in an attempt to bring back the lost art of an 80s action blockbuster and for the most part succeeds. Although the action is intense, it does not come frequently enough and there was a significant dearth of one-liners. In order to enjoy this film, which I did, you have to do two things: leave the notion of a cinematic masterpiece at home, and bring every guy you know along with you (thanks Roby).
