Once again, Stallone struck box-office gold. He went behind the scenes for his next effort, Staying Alive , which he wrote and directed. Although the film featured John Travolta reprising his breakout role from Saturday Night Fever , it did not fare as well as the original. Trying to branch out as an actor, Stallone starred opposite Dolly Parton in the comedy Rhinestone The film was a commercial and critical failure.
He also starred in the comedy Oscar as well as the futuristic action flick Demolition Man , which co-starred Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock. He made a series of forgettable films, including Judge Dredd and Daylight He earned strong reviews for his portrayal of a sheriff in a small New Jersey town largely inhabited by New York City cops.
Returning to his leading man status, Stallone starred in the crime thriller Get Carter , which received mixed reviews. He then wrote, co-produced and starred in the car-racing drama Driven Another effort, Shade , came and went without much notice. Stallone once again returned to familiar territory to write another chapter of his most popular creation. The former heavyweight champion, long retired, decides to go for one more big fight.
It is kind of bittersweet. That is why I wanted to write this film. Stallone then reprised his other action persona, John Rambo. In addition to playing the lead, he wrote and directed Rambo The film lived up to the gory legacy of its predecessors. In addition to his performance in the film, Stallone served as director and screenwriter. Stallone reunited with the cast of The Expendables to co-star in a sequel.
The Expendables 2 premiered in August and reached the No. Stallone delivered The Expendables 3 in the summer of , with Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson among the additions to the cast. The film proved to have more modest box office returns domestically than its predecessors, though foreign ticket sales were once again robust. Stallone also enjoyed a busy year in , when he starred in Escape Plan , with Schwarzenegger, and the boxing comedy Grudge Match , with De Niro.
He went on to add one more chapter to the Rocky Balboa saga in with Creed , in which he trains the son Michael B. Jordan of his old boxing rival Apollo. Stallone won a supporting actor Golden Globe for the part, receiving a standing ovation as he took the podium for his acceptance speech, and also garnered an Academy Award nomination.
In , Stallone delivered voice work for the animated Animal Crackers and appeared in the sequel to the Marvel Comics blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy.
Connections Featured in Breakfast: Episode dated 8 July User reviews Review. Top review. Solid boys-own action but could have done with a few more thrills and a bit more in the way of comic relief. With the cast it had it was no surprise that The Expendables was being hyped long before it arrived in cinemas anywhere. The answer of course is "no" and I doubt anyone expected it to be any other answer.
However the real question was can the film produce the boys-only, 's action movie fun that the summer season needed. The answer to this question turned out to be "sort of" because The Expendables has plenty to enjoy about it but yet somehow falls short of what it could have been. The plot is essentially a small group of mercenaries heading into a tropical island in order to take out the dictator and his ex-CIA puppet-master: so far, so "one man against endless ethnic army" 80's style plotting.
And indeed so it is, complete with unnecessary violence and overblown physical actions and seemingly indestructible heroes. It plays out just the way you expect it to do and those looking for action sequences will enjoy the many fights and scenes where everything blows up Terry Crews in particular demonstrating to the world why Infinity Ward were out of their minds to make the AA a "secondary" weapon in Modern Warfare 2!
The downside of the action is that, while it is enjoyable, it doesn't deliver enough of two key things. The first of these is genuine thrills. It comes close and there are good moments but generally you find yourself sitting back watching the mayhem for the sake of mayhem, whereas I would prefer to be sucked into and really gripped by the action - I wasn't really here; instead most of the action is of the video game style — where the enemy just keeps spawning in front of you and getting chopped down by powerful weaponry.
The second thing that isn't as prevalent as I wanted was comedy. We get the odd bit here and there, but really Jet Li's "because I'm small" speech is probably the high point. What was needed was more comedy mixed in with the action. There were a few kiss-off lines but nothing memorable or even "good". These are important because it makes the excess easier to enjoy as just part of a fun package — the film not having enough suspense or thrills makes the lack of this "fun" all the more obvious and notable of a gap.
The cast do help though and not just in terms of having big names in there. They do have an easy charisma between them and they all play off each other well — whether it be Stallone and Statham or the brief cameos from Willis and Swarzenegger.
Crews isn't used particularly well but otherwise I liked everyone else in it, even if there were probably too many of them to really do much with — I thought it was a good move, despite appearing to be an ensemble piece, to put most of the focus on two of them rather than spreading it evenly around.
Of course looking at it fairly, the film is not great — the plot is obvious and full of "groan" moments that we have to have simply because of the genre plus it is hard to shake the feeling that the film is more for the stars benefit than it is about the viewers, like perhaps they enjoyed it more than I did? Overall though The Expendables is a solid enough 80's style action movie that does everything you expect it to do but nothing more. Personally I preferred The Losers to this simply because it delivered action and comedy blended well to make for an enjoyably silly actioner, whereas this doesn't really do that and perhaps takes itself a little too seriously for its own good.
A solid genre film and enjoyable as that, but it doesn't do enough to justify the sheer volume of big names in it. FAQ 7. What is "The Expendables" about? Is "The Expendables" based on a book?
