Start now with the excuse to take the long break since last post (although good bloggers say they do not have to do it ...): Unfortunately, last time I can devote the blog is really little and I'm so sorry, especially in this case, after having talked about the movie Stallone for months, whereas several days have passed already since I saw the movie.
After much talk of The Expendables (Mercenaries, the Italian title, does not perfectly) I Started in contrast with the expectations raised in previous posts and be a bit 'challenging, so I tell you that if you expect to see a movie from the storyline, this is not the film for you. If you are looking interpretations leave you breathless, this is not the film for you.
If, however, look for adrenaline, action, testosterone, muscle, exploded oni, and some funny lines, then go see this movie and will not be disappointed.
Stallone is not the best, either as actor or as a director, nor as a writer, but in 64 years has always played him the undisputed hero of more than a generation.
Physical tiratissimo, the envy of a greek God, Stallone has managed to combine an incredible cast.
The heroes of action movies of the past 20 years, almost all together in one movie: Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts to Jason Statham, Steve Austin and Randy Couture, not to mention a small cameo by Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger (the two appear in one scene a couple of minutes, along with Sly, that scene alone is worth the ticket price).

The plot is very simple, a bit 'obvious, no unexpected twists: The Expendables in the film are experts mercenaries, specialized in very high risk missions, led by Barney Ross (Stallone). When not working, the gang finds himself Tool (Rourke), a retired mercenary, now an expert tattoo artist and the link between mercenaries and other principals of the missions. Right Tool for the team's mission is: to kill the dictator of an island in the Gulf of Mexico, the mission that the mercenaries accepted, giving the viewer explosions, shootings and fights with all his might.
It 's amazing how the majority of aged actors in this film is still spectacular to see them all together in a mix of action and funny lines.
Two known negative (beyond the aesthetic aspects of film): the fight scenes are taken too quickly, something that confuses the viewer, who can not fully enjoy (especially when the fight is Jet Li, a true master of gender), and the Italian voice choice for dubbing the same Jet Li, concerned by the very talented Mino Caprio, whose voice, however, poorly suited to the actor, and above all too easily evokes Peter Griffin, distracting the viewer.
