I thought that this was a horrifically gory, yet resonant tale. I thought Sly did an admirable job, held off with the "shaky camera" syndrome he came down with in the Expendables (2010), and really didn't skimp on the gore.
It was gory, but there were some great performances, the cinematography was quite good, the action sequences top notch. Overall message - resonant in these politically correct, yet violence saturated times.
I felt the Expendables was a tad muddled, an homage to 80's action flicks, yet disappointingly filmed in the "shaky camera", faux cinema verite that Directors like Greengrass (Bourne Series) and the guy who directed Quantum of Solace use.
I hate that "shaky camera" crap, unless it's used sparingly.
Rambo, a film about a "crazed American" - recommended by a Crazed American...
Crazed American, out.
