Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) -- with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time - six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother.
This movie is great, just like the first one, for being exactly what it's supposed to be - a throwback to over the top 80s action movies. There is crazy shootouts and fighting. There are cliche one liners all over the place and they have even brought in more throwback actors that pretty much made entire careers out of these types of movies.
If you liked the first one (or 80s action movies) - you will like this movie just as much. If you didn't - don't touch it with a ten foot pole. It's pretty much one of the easiest movies to review.
