The fourth entry within the brash franchise has its finest motion scenes but, fingers the reins over to Jason Statham, and brings in Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais for some further martial arts bona fides.

From our overview:

Expend4bles stretches the franchise to its limits, and these limits frankly don’t attain very far. There’s a degree of self-awareness to Expendables movies that may make their paper-thin plotting and characterization excusable — ultimately, they’re simply a motive to see sure motion legends work together with one another. But in a decade-plus of homage, the sequence hasn’t developed any stylistic thrives of its personal. Mission: Impossible motion pictures have their signature stunts, Fast and Furious motion pictures have their inconceivable functions of automobiles, however the Expendables lacks a comparable calling card. There’s nothing for followers to look ahead to past Jason Statham’s resilient appeal and Sylvester Stallone’s braggadocio. And frankly, there are a lot of different locations for individuals who need these issues to get them.
