The Expendables 2 (2012)
It was only a question of when. I mean, the first outing of this ensemble cast was a massive callback to the over-the-top action flicks of the 1980s and it was pretty successful, so you knew there were going to be sequels. And to be fair, this one doesn't do too shabby a job, even if you can sometimes feel it is becoming a little too silly and jokey for its own good. It's been roughly more than a year since the team of Barney Ross (Stallone) lay waste to the island of Vilena and they are still doing their thing. They've even added a new young member to the team, who - metaphorically speaking - is only a month away from retirement. You see where this is going, don't you? Barney is strongarmed by Church (Bruce Willis) to recover something from a downed aircraft in Albania, where they are waylaid by a gang called the Sangs, led by a guy called Vilain (Van Damme). Sidenote: the bad guy's name is probably the stupidest thing here, especially if you have even the sligh...
