Those ageing action heroes who were getting to the point of being expendable with regards to the Box-office suddenly got a new lease of life with Sylvester Stallone’s grand idea of an action start-up that made a goofy play on their fallibility. But the subsequent sequels appear to clutching at straws really - even with add-on casts and younger blood. This current movie, the fourth in the series, Expend4bles, may have a more coherent plot than the first three but the mechanics are the same moth-eaten ones.

CIA operative operative Marsh (Andy Garcia) tasks Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and his “Expendables,” including veterans Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Gunner Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture), alongside newcomers Easy Day (Curtis Jackson), Gina (Megan Fox), and Galan (Jacob Scipio), with eliminating the ruthless mercenary Suarto Rahmat (Iko Uwais) who wants to retrieve detonators from a Libyan chemical plant, with the hopes of granting nuclear weapons capabilities to notorious arms dealer Ocelot. As expected though, things don’t go as planned.
