  For old fashion, kick-ass adventure, this film squarely fits the bill. Even though the cast is loaded with a dream team of action superstars; they never step in one another’s spotlight and they truly did work as a well oiled team.

Opening #1 at the box office is not only validation from the dedicated fan base that the Expendables franchise has built but it also sets the stage for more to come. Leader of the pack Barney Ross (Stallone) and his sidekick Lee (Statham) run a tight ship of professional renegade mercenaries. These superheroes don’t need padded suits, capes and tights because their muscles are as real as the guns they shoot and the ass-whuppins they dish out.

****Excellent! (Ride In Front First Class)!
