I have to say that this movie was flat out AMAZING! Now I know that may surprise and maybe even shock people but it actually was a great movie! The film's idea was basically get every single kick butt action star from the past 20 years and put them in this film! You know what the crazy thing is....it actually worked! The film is filled with great action sequences, amazing stomach turning injuries and some kick butt knife fights! It bring back all the good stuff we love in classic action films!
Stallone does a great job as writer, director, and star. He has wit and charm and he is not afraid to make fun of himself and to show his age. One thing I really liked about the film was that these guys were not super human. People got their butts handed to them on a platter!
The only thing better than watching the characters kick serious tail is trying to figure out who else will show up. Which Hollywood action hero will make a guest star appearance. Of course we have the beautiful and yummy to watch Jason Statham and the Karate genius Jet Li. We also get a mini cameo by our favorite Governor Schwarzenegger and Die Hard action thriller Bruce Willis. Both characters were not really needed but who really cares because they are action legends!
There is also a very odd yet moving performance by Mickey Rourke. He plays this old action hero who keeps a bar/tattoo parlor where our guys hang out. He has this one monologue where he really shows why he was nominated for an Oscar a few years back. His character is fun and witty and can hold his own.
Basically this film has action, knives, blood, bones breaking, butt kicking, motorcycle riding, plane flyin', gun shooting, bombs blowing, and everything in between to have a great action movie! CHECK IT OUT!
Ladies you need to see this for your men....they will adore you for it!
PS....YES The guy that plays Gunner is the Russian from Rocky 4!
