I love The Expendables series as a fun throwback to ‘80s alpha male action movies appealing to modern audiences. The Expendables introduces us to a group of misfit combat veterans who are clearly unemployable in normal society. They instead find work as mercenaries completing the missions no one else would be crazy or stupid enough to take. One of our heroes goes rogue as the rest take a job flying to the Gulf of Mexico to assassinate a power-hungry military dictator. Things aren’t quite as they seem and the Expendables have to go the extra mile to ensure that all ends well. Cars drive at top speed through narrow streets, things explode, bullets riddle tons of nameless extras, and the good guys defy death in spectacular fashion. You can practically smell the testosterone emanating from the stars’ pores. The Expendables is nothing short of awesome escapist fun.
