The rest of the mayhem is simply ultraviolent, nonstop, and numbing. Better jokes might have helped.

If you like watching men with no necks thumping each other, this could be your Citizen Kane.

The movie had been billed as a throwback to the action flicks of the 1980s, but that pitch turns out to be false advertising.

It's not the age of the actors that makes The Expendables expendable. It's the stale storytelling.
