    A fairly fun movie about a mercenary outfit on the job with a lot of action and some big explosions. The characters are likeable and unique in relativity to each other, which allowes the numerous stars their own personalities and space as well as making them distinct and memorable. Having said that, it's fairly repetitious and doesn't show good range with the directing, which is too murky in its tone and doesn't match the action sequences, which are well done. I'd say the same for the acting, but that's not why we go see Stallone or Statham (or Jet Li or Lundgren), so their acting isn't an issue. This movie is memorable because it breathed life into all of the aforementioned action stars' careers and brought back the 'action movie one-liners' which a lot of us miss.
