The Expendables 3 (2014)


Genre: Action
Directed by: Patrick Hughes
Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Antonio Banderas
Running time: 126 minutes



After The Expendables come in conflict with arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks, a co-founder of the group now set on destroying them and a man who was thought to be dead, group leader Barney Ross decides to let go of his team and surround himself with a new gang of people he is not attached to to go for a mission he sees as very deadly for all involved.

Of the three Expendables movies so far, this was my favorite, in large part due to the presence of Mel Gibson as the bad guy Conrad Stonebanks. It was nice to see him again and he did a good job of it. Antonio Banderas was another entertaining presence. There were other additions to the cast, such as Wesley Snipes and Ronda Rousey.

Still not great cinema in any sense of the term, this was still entertaining. It was formulaic and clichéd, but it was fun.
