This movie is about a group of renegade solders who will take the jobs most people stray away from. They are a rag tag team of waste and filth that most people don’t care about. That is where they get their name. They go from rescuing hostages to saving stranded missionaries and they do everything in-between. This is their story.
Sylvester Stallone both directed and starred in this film. He was the leader on and off the screen. Unfortunately this film was a dud. It was an action packed film that failed to excite. It at times was lulling me to sleep during the action packed finale. They say to many cooks spoil the broth and I think that is true with this film. It never really had time to focus on one mega star so it was a waste of time for all of them.
We saw it come true in Valentines Day. Now it happens again. Too many big stars in one film and the plot suffers. This type of film does not require much of a plot but in this case there was even a lack of that. The concept for this movie should have been best left of the cutting room floor. Maybe there is a reason films like this are not made every day. They always seem to be bombs.
I cannot recommend this film to anyone, nor can I admit that I even rented it. It was a turkey from the get go. Thanksgiving was last month. I saw this film and had nothing to be thankful for other than the fact that I did not pay nine dollars to see it in theaters. Don’t bother renting this film or adding it to your Netflix queue. It simply is not worth the effort.
Grade F
