Really?

What a complete crock of dried dung.  Just terrible in pretty much every way.

Completely unbelievable plot and plotting.  Cardboard cartoon characters.  Groan inducing dialogue.

Yet, somehow, Arnie and Sly brought home lots of moola, thanks to the overseas BO.

For me, I call this embarrassing for all involved.

Grade - D

I had such high hopes for this.  

It had everything I look for in a movie:  80's action stars, an unrealistic plot, and a rapper.  

If only Steven Seagal and Ja Rule would have shown up, this could have been an Oscar contender.  

Maybe next time.  The Expendables Plan 2:  Even more expendabler.

I thought it was Ok, for what it was suppose to be.

The last quarter of the film sucked, but there was this middle part, from about 20-30 min in, til the last 20 min that I liked. It was tense and something kept happening.

I'd give it a C+.

I hated the whole thing. Thankfully a friend brought around a pirated version and I didn't actually pay to watch it... but I was still disappointed that I'd wasted my time with it in the first place.

Has to be one of the most insecure prisons I've ever seen. In a high secure prison they would not allow inmates to eat together en masse. Maybe two or three at once, but that would be it. They certainly wouldn't have guards armed with SMG's and sidearms within easy reach of the inmates either. Makes no sense at all. To top it all, they not only give the inmates access to advanced weaponry and allow them time to plan escapes, they give them a huge several hundred ton ship that they could sail anywhere in the world as it is shrouded in secrecy.

Whoever wrote that shit needs shooting.
