EXPENDABLES

There were a time not long ago about eight years back, when a genre called action movies were made , a genre which believed in pure action without sentiment , without reason and without hassles of script restrictions. They were movies made for the sole purpose of satisfying man's need for excitement thrill and ad reline . But that genre was long forgetten till stallone came out and bought us the expendables , to remind us of the golden era of the great action stars and their great movies- Commando,Predator,Rambo,Rocky,Lethal weapon,Cobra,Quest,Crank,Die hard ...to name a few . This movie bought back those great images of my childhood where everytime our hero kicked butt on T.V bought joy and a sense of justice to the mind of the youngster

Here's a short synopsis to blow you away-
A group of mercenaries is hired to infiltrate a South American country and overthrow its ruthless dictator. Once the mission begins, the men realize things aren't quite as they appear, finding themselves caught in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal. With their mission thwarted and an innocent life in danger, the men struggle with an even tougher challenge -- one that threatens to destroy this band of brothers. Barney Ross is a man with nothing to lose. Fearless and void of emotion, he is the leader, the sage and the strategist of this tight-knit band of men who live on the fringe. His only attachment is to his pickup truck, his seaplane and his team of loyal modern-day warriors. His is a true cynic who describes what he does as ¿removing those hard to get at stains.¿ The team behind him is made up of Lee Christmas, former SAS and a savant with anything that has a blade; Yin Yang, a master at close-quarter combat; Hale Caesar, who has known Barney for ten years and is a long-barrel weapons specialist; Toll Road, a skilled demolitions expert and considered the intellect of the group; and Gunnar Jensen, a combat veteran and an expert in precision sniping who struggles with his own demons. When the mysterious Church offers Barney a job no one else would take, Barney and his team embark on what appears to be a routine mission: overthrow General Gaza, the murderous dictator of the small island country of Vilena and end the years of death and destruction inflicted on its people. On a reconnaissance mission to Vilena, Barney and Christmas meet their contact Sandra, a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe and his henchman Paine. When things go terribly wrong, Barney and Christmas are forced to leave Sandra behind, essentially giving her a death sentence. Haunted by this failure, Barney convinces the team to return to Vilena to rescue the hostage and finish the job he started. And to perhaps save a soul: his own.

This movie as my friend described just bought back a forgotten genre with it. It showed us you don't need Great visual effects and 3D like avatar or a complicated script like inception to make an entertaining movie , all you need is a few good stars with a simple plot and lot of explosives to take the audience for a ride .The expendables movie means a lot to me and am sure a lot to my generation as it bought all the stars of our childhood on the big screen once , to fulfill all our juvenile fantasies we had (especially blowing up one's own school) . Sure to most people , it may seems like a movie which liked a proper plot or direction, but hey you dont go to watch stallone and ,statham , li , bruce willis dramtise and cry , you go to see them kick the shiat outta of the bad guy and have a happy ending
