With the spate of different flicks debuting this weekend (go see PIRANHA 3-D, seriously), I honestly think Sly and his crew of muscled mercenaries have what it takes to decimate their box office competition for a second week in a row. That’s right, I got money on THE EXPENDABLES being a repeat offender!
And just to keep the film fresh, Lionsgate has just unfurled a sweet new Mexican one-sheet for the film, one that I dig quite a bit. It’s colorful, inventive, incendiary…everything the movie is said to be (peep THE ARROW’S REVIEW HERE).
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 (David Zayas), 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 (Giselle Itie), a local freedom-fighter with a dark secret. They also come to learn who their true enemy is: rogue ex-CIA operative James Monroe (Eric Roberts) and his henchman Paine (Steve Austin). 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.
