Director: Sylvester Stallone
The Expendables is big, dumb Hollywood fun for people who still can't help watching Commando any time they see it on cable. Dolph Lundgren and Sylvester Stallone have a face-cragginess contest (Stallone wins). The plot is hilariously thin, cribbed from other, similar films. No worries - we are familiar enough with the tropes.
I've noticed this tendency in other action films, but could we please stop the trend of using an extremely blue filter during night scenes? Yes, it does give the film a ridiculously sleek look. It also makes everything in the film look CGI, whether or not it actually was. Although perhaps they did CGI the whole movie - if they'd used real scenery, we'd probably be able to see teeth marks from where Stallone, Eric Roberts, and Steve Austin chewed it.
