The Expendables
2010
Barney (Sylvester Stallone) leads a ragtag band of hired guns charged with overthrowing a South American despot, a job no official military unit is willing to touch. But once on the ground, the team learns there's more to the mission than they were told. Their next move determines whether they survive -- or are, indeed, expendable. Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li round out a stellar cast.

It sure has a good cast and a lot of action, but everything else is weak. Definitely worth a check for fans of 80s movies.
Each of the characters are amusing at times, but the film seems a bit fragmented because there are so many stars - doesn't garner empathy for the characters. The action also seems a bit hollow, no tension or twists involved.
