The world greatest action stars have returned with a host of fresh faces for the action packed Expendables 4.

Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on; the Expendables are the world’s last line of defence and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table.

If you’re looking for action and you liked the earlier movies in the series, then this is made for you.

It is a big old fashioned action movie, now that doesn’t mean it’s bad, it does exactly what you would expect, no real surprises here.

With a new generation of stars joining the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles.

Reuniting as the team of elite mercenaries, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Sylvester Stallone are joined for the first time by Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia.

Expendables 4 has quite a large cast, but it is definitely lead by Jason Statham.

The title should’ve been ‘Jason Statham and some of the Expendables.’

This sequel nearly a decade in the making clearly isn’t made for long-suffering fans of this franchise, as most of the iconic cast barely has any screen time.

The film has plenty of action sequences as it should when you see the line up of actors involved.

The problem is it has relied heavily on CGI for the action sequences which has been done badly with most of the explosions looking like a bad video game effects.

The fight scenes are cluttered, with such a large cast of big names it was always going to be a fight to get them the screen time viewers would want.

Sadly they did a poor job in handling the action sequences and giving every talent a spotlight in the action.

My Rating: 6/10
