The Expendables 3

4 stars out of 5
Who knew you could cast an action film in a retirement office?  Sylvester Stallon, Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren. Plus some new ones, including Ronda Rousey, a female boxer who reminded me of Julia Stiles. Stallone wrote the story, and let's just say he's come a long way from his authorship of the first Rocky film, and not in a good way. Things blow up, things fall down, people grimace, thousands are killed, there is much gunfire and many explosions. Entertaining if you like that sort of thing and aren't hung up on stuff like plot and characterization.
