"Killing generals could get to be a habit with me." If you've heard me going on about The Expendables, chances are you've heard me throw this title around. THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME! You've got a squad of convicted criminals who all have long prison sentences or death sentences who are given a chance by the U.S. Army to redeem themselves by killing a bunch of German generals attending a meeting in France in advance of D-Day. Lee Marvin plays Major John Reisman, an unconventional, rebellious officer who is assigned to train this "dirty dozen," whose members are played by, among others, Charles Bronson (one of the most badass men of all time), Donald Sutherland (who received a major career boost from his role), Jim Brown (arguably one of the best professional football players of all time), and Telly Savalas, with Ernest Borgnine and Robert Ryan taking up supporting roles.
Rating: 3.5/4
