I was a little bummed walking out of the theater for The Expendables. I don’t remember a car ride home with my friends that quiet since we saw The Passion of the Christ. It had a few things working in its favor (Jet Li, the threesome scene and Terry Crews‘ gun) but ultimately just fell kinda flat. And one of the characters living at the end has surpassed the son surviving in The War of the Worlds as the most illogical and silliest ‘hey look, that guy is still alive, though we totally showed him dying’ moments in movie history.
