You get exactly what you expect from this movie. All your favorite old school action superstars together again, fighting a similar fight all spouting their same classic dialogue. Amidst the hokiness you did have some special moments - usually delivered by the better actors of the group (Bruce Willis, Jason Statham... and when they are "better actors" you are generally in trouble haha But Willis made a valiant effort with the rather horrible re-used lines he was given) Jean-Claude Van Damme does a shockingly good job as the bad guy, and while the female lead wasn't terrible I still wish they had cast a famous female action star to keep in line with the rest of the cast - maybe Lucy Liu?
Lots of plot holes and complete randomness... issues with continuity... poor effects... shoddy lighting... but getting the action-star gang of our past together again? Priceless.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
