In The Expendables 3, the third installment of the popular action-packed franchise, Barney Ross (played by Sylvester Stallone) and his team of mercenaries are recruited for yet another dangerous mission. This time, they are tasked with taking down a ruthless arms dealer named Conrad Stonebanks (played by Mel Gibson), who co-founded The Expendables with Barney before turning rogue and becoming a wanted criminal.
To accomplish this seemingly impossible mission, Barney recruits a new batch of younger, tech-savvy fighters to join his veteran team. This includes characters played by Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Victor Ortiz, and Glen Powell, among others. However, when the mission to apprehend Stonebanks goes wrong and one of their own is taken captive, Barney and his team must once again go to extreme lengths to save their teammate and bring Stonebanks to justice.
Along the way, there are plenty of explosive action sequences, intense confrontations, and witty one-liners. Jason Statham reprises his role as the sharp-tongued Lee Christmas, while Jet Li returns as the expert martial artist Yin Yang. Other returning cast members include Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren, and Randy Couture, who all deliver their signature brand of badassery.
In addition to the impressive cast, The Expendables 3 also boasts some impressive cameos from iconic action stars of the past. Harrison Ford appears as the team's new employer, while Antonio Banderas steals scenes as the hyperactive Galgo. Arnold Schwarzenegger also returns as the enigmatic Trench, adding to the film's star-studded ensemble.
Overall, The Expendables 3 delivers exactly what fans have come to expect from this franchise - heart-pumping action, larger-than-life characters, and plenty of cheesy one-liners. While some may argue that the addition of younger actors takes away from the nostalgic charm of the previous films, the movie still manages to maintain its signature brand of over-the-top fun.
The Expendables 3 is a 2014 action movie. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.1 and a MetaScore of 35.
