Product Description Sylvester Stallone stars as Barney Ross, leader of The Expendables, a tight-knit team of skilled combat vets turned mercenaries. Hired by a powerful covert operator, the team jets off to a small South American country to overthrow a ruthless dictator. Once there, they find themselves caught in a deadly web of deceit and betrayal. Using every weapon at their disposal, they set out to save the innocent and punish the guilty in this blistering action-packed thriller. .com They might be expendable, but they sure are durable: The Expendables is crammed with well-traveled action heroes, called to a summit meeting here to capture some of that good old ultraviolent '80s-movie feel. Star-director Sylvester Stallone rides herd as the leader of this mercenary band, which includes Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Stallone's old Rocky V nemesis Dolph Lundgren. Mickey Rourke, looking like a car wreck on Highway 61, plays the tattoo artist who communicates the gang's assignments to Stallone; throw in Terry Crews and Ultimate Fighting champ Randy Couture, and you've got a badass crew indeed. The specifics here involve a Latin American island where US interests have mucked up the local politics beyond repair--but when Sly's eye is caught by the feisty daughter (Giselle Itie) of the local military jefe, a simple job gets complicated. Adding to the B-movie flavor of the enterprise, we've got Eric Roberts and Steve Austin bouncing around as badder-than-the-bad guys, plus Bruce Willis popping in for a one-scene bit, and… well, perhaps another unbilled cameo. The violence doesn't reach the frantic pace of Stallone's last Rambo picture, but it builds to a pretty crazy crescendo in the final reels, during which each cast member gets to show his stuff. Although Stallone's face looks younger than it did in the first Rocky movie, his line delivery is more sluggish than ever, and what lines! The dialogue is stuck in the '80s, too. Although it's pretty ham-handed throughout, The Expendables is likely critic-proof: the audience that wants to see this kind of body-slamming throwdown isn't going to care about the niceties. Let the knife throwing begin. --Robert Horton

Explosions, Action, and Nostalgia Galore!
As a fan of the action genre, I was beyond excited to get my hands on The Expendables in 4K Ultra HD, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. This movie is an absolute blast from start to finish, delivering everything you could want in an action movie and then some.The first thing that struck me about this 4K Ultra HD version was the stunning visual quality. The picture is so clear and crisp that it almost feels like you're right there in the middle of the action. And with a movie like The Expendables, where explosions and gunfights are practically a character in and of themselves, that's no small feat.But it's not just the visuals that make this movie a standout. The cast of action legends, including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, deliver performances that are both entertaining and nostalgic. It's a real treat to see these icons of the silver screen teaming up and taking down bad guys together.And speaking of bad guys, Eric Roberts as the villainous James Munroe is a real standout in this movie. He's sleazy, menacing, and just the right amount of over-the-top to make him a memorable foil to the Expendables.But what really sets The Expendables apart from other action movies is the sense of camaraderie among the characters. There's a real feeling of brotherhood between these guys, and it's clear that they have each other's backs no matter what. It's this sense of loyalty and friendship that elevates The Expendables from just another action movie to a true classic.Overall, I would highly recommend The Expendables in 4K Ultra HD to anyone who loves action movies, especially those who grew up with the action movies of the 80s and 90s. It's a high-octane thrill ride that will have you cheering for the heroes and booing the villains, and the 4K Ultra HD version makes it all the more immersive. Don't miss out on this one!

*****Exceptional!***** WOW, My Wife Even Agrees!!!
"The Expendables" comes at you with barrels a-loaded and guns a-blazin' right from scene one! Many reviews on here are saying this is a throwback or a tribute to 80's action flicks. While I cannot disagree completely, I can say that it isn't relegated to that distinction only. It is just as much a part of today's action movie scene as it is to the 80's scene.Let me start by saying that I have a wife who isn't overly fond of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and the like. On the night we went to the movies, we decided to see two of them, one of my choice and one of hers. My choice, of course, was "The Expendables." She made sure she told me on the way to the theater, "I really don't want to watch "The Expendables."""It's only fair," I replied with a gleam in my eye and anticipation coursing through my veins.So after it was over and we exited the theater, I was a bit reluctant to ask her what she thought. I assumed that I already knew her answer, and frankly, I didn't want to hear what my discerning mind already was certain it was going to hear. But being a glutton for the occasional wife-induced punishment, I asked anyway. I about fell over when she replied with, "It was real good...waaaayyyy better than I thought it was going to be.""Huh?" I replied, dumbfounded. I'm sure I looked like a deer in the headlights."It was good," she assured me with a smile. After that we marched into another theater to watch Round 2 of movie night, her choice, "Nanny McPhee Returns," which was actually quite good, as well, I might add, especially since we had the ENTIRE theater to ourselves...not a soul was in there besides us two. Later on that night, she made the comment, "We got to see two excellent movies."WOW! I was floored. "Good" had now been escalated to "Excellent!"It really doesn't matter that the younger generation is having problems with older guys performing in action flicks. Granted, Stallone has a few wrinkles, and he's a little rough around the edges, but he's still built like a Mack truck and as tough as an overcooked prime rib steak. His talents are endless, and he deserves to be admired for his accomplishments. Now you can add "The Expendables" to that long list. It was an exceptionally fun movie, and I recommend it to everyone who likes a good action film with good actors having fun while doing it.A+!One more thing worth noting. It's quite refreshing to know, and maybe younger generation Hollywood should take the hint, that you don't need to drop F-Bombs every four seconds to make an outstanding movie. There were a couple of strategically placed profane words, but NOTHING over the top. I don't think there was a single F-Word in the whole movie; they aren't always necessary. Hats off to that as well!

"Expend" your collection? Ugh... Bad pun!
Great movie. Action-packed, full of stars, simple plot and more guns than America would know what to do with. Honestly, so many guns.And don't even get me started on the number of bullets that are used...And the explosives.The vehicles that get blown up.The bad guys that get a bad case of "lead-poisoning"? There are a lot of them. Like A LOT!... At least 7. Minimum. I didn't count them all, but at least 7 bad guys eat it.If you're looking for a movie that will entertain your primordial brain, this is it.If you're looking for something deeper, go for Schindler's List. This is not Schindler's List, the is The Expendables.If you're looking for a burgundy waffle-maker, our princess is in another castle.Peace out!

MUY BUEN BD, MUY BUENA PELICULA
Esta versión supera la versión que sacaron aquí en México los de ZIMA. Muchas películas salen en versión de ZIMA y por lo general le bajan la calidad de imagen y sonido. Prefiero pagar un poco más, aunque a veces sale más barato, y tener algo de calidad. Esta versión es extendida y está grabada con 7.1 canales de audio.La película me pare muy buena, no porque sea la mejor de todos los tiempos, sino porque está bien hecha, trae de regreso en concepto de las buenas películas de acción de los 80s, con los héroes de aquélla época, y sobre todo todos estos actores demuestran que la edad es una cuestión de actitud, antes cualquier persona mayor de sesenta eras un anciano, con cuerpo decrepito, con bastón o silla de ruedas. Sylvester Stallone y los demás actores imponen un nuevo paradigma, con una vitalidad y unos cuerpos atléticos que ya quisieran los jóvenes.

Fabulosa
Un steelbook de fábula para esta película. A quien le guste, no puede dejar pasar esta opción. Está a precio de derribo. Eso sí, nada de audio en castellano, sólo inglés y alemán. Pero por este precio, bien merece la pena y hacer una custom con la edición española.
