Here is a nice big expensive remake that is oodles of fun. Lots of fist fights, lots of gunfire and LOTS of blowie uppie stuff! It is a great big overblown cartoon brought to super-exaggerated but entertaining life.
Plot? Nah. These are the standard war vets framed for something they didn't do, so they have to get out of prison and clear their names. You know the drill... There are so many crosses, double-crosses and flip- flops that I lost track. The dialogue is very funny, the situations are absurd, the characters are easy on the eye and we laugh out loud right on cue.
Here are the players:
- Liam Neeson ("Clash of the Titans") is the team leader, creative and clever.
- Bradley Cooper ("The Hangover") is the handsome one, sexy and funny.
- Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson ("Never Surrender") has a spiritual crisis to overcome.
- Sharlto Copley ("District 9") plays crazy better than anyone.
- Patrick Wilson ("Watchmen") is everyone in the CIA named Lynch?
- Jessica Biel ("Valentine's Day") shares a past with the handsome one.
- Gerald McRaney (lots of TV) is a beloved general.
Is the ending ever in doubt? Nope, but you'll sure have a good time!
