The Expendables 2 is possibly the best of the series; it improves on the formula set by the original with more cameos, more violence, and more one-liners. Our boys vow revenge after a rival mercenary murders one of their own during an otherwise simple retrieval mission to Albania. Tons of fun ensues as the good guys fight, stab, shoot, and detonate their way through lots of bad guys to ensure that their fellow Expendable did not die in vain. There is more to the events than that, but it is probably best to keep it simple. Nan Yu does a nice job adding the necessary female role to the team while also temporarily replacing Jet Li as the resident martial arts expert. Anything that might have caused The Expendables to come up short successfully falls into place with this sequel.
