You’ve got to love The Expendables movies. They’re balls to the walls action and make no fuss of having such fancy concepts as an adherence to the laws of physics and proper acting. That, and they’re stuffed with more big-name actors than a badly-sung version of Save The World. Unless you’re greedy and lazy that is. The Expendables 3 is …

I’ll be honest here, and admit that The Expendable movies aren’t exactly made for folks who are looking for fine acting, logical plots are sensible ammo conservation.
