The Expendables was just as good! I can't wait to buy it when it's out on dvd November 23rd!

Anon. This review is spot on, perhaps even generous. While marginally entertaining at times (for brieft, fleeting seconds), this film is pretty much a waste of time. Didn't hate it, but would have rather used those 2 hours for sleep and or just vegging out on my couch doing nothing.

The script is godawful, everything about their escapes from scene to scene are far-fetched, impossible and silly in a way that just says, "oh you, it's just a silly movie, don't worry about it too much."

Pointless and forgettable. The direction is a mess too, not sure how this guy is in demand.

Oops, got him confused with James Remar. Same rule applies.

I don't remember Eric Roberts being in this movie. He was definitely in THE EXPENDABLES.

...aaaaand a cursory Google search confirms that I'm not crazy, and that he's not in this movie.

I'm impressed with your memory. If you actually cared to read the review, one of my problems with this film was that isn't brainless enough. I love stupid action movies as much as the next person, just don't give me on that's as boring and overlong as this one.

kevin "spanglish is underrated" jagernauth didn't like an action movie? i am absolutely shocked here.
