The film is about a group of elite mercenaries tasked with a mission to overthrow a Latin American dictator whom they soon discover to be a mere puppet controlled by a corrupt ex- CIA agent. This was Dolph Lundgren's first theatrically released film since 1995's cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic. It is the first installment in The Expendables film series. The film was released in the United States on August 13, 2010. The film co-stars an ensemble cast of mostly action film actors consisting of Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Steve Austin, Mickey Rourke, and Bruce Willis. All in all this is a great way to spend 90 or so minutes and is certainly how I would like to remember Sly Stallone, in his action prime.The Expendables is a 2010 American action film directed by Sylvester Stallone, who co-wrote it with David Callaham and also starred in the lead role. Sandra Bullock is good as the gratuitous attractive lady you get in practically all action films. The two leads are very good and in particular Snipes revels in his nasty role. The comedy factor is high in this film and the film certainly has tongue fastened firmly in cheek. The films pacing is good and in particular there are three big action sequences that shine, these are the opening and the end as well as a very good action scene set in a museum. Snipes plays the baddest of bad guys Simon Phoenix and does so excellently. The opening action scene is set in the present day and is a rip roaring sequence with Stallone polishing off bad guys with stylish flair, before he has a face off with the show stealer Wesley Snipes. Anything remotely bad for you, including spicy foods, is illegal and the whole new system is run by Raymond Cochtoe played by the late Nigal Hawthorne. What you get with Demolition man is an entertaining and satirical look at the future of Los Angeles where people walk about in robes and are a peace loving society. Around the same time he did the excellent Cliffhanger he also did this nifty action flick. This movie features Sly Stallone at his muscle bound, destructive best.
