Nathan J. @NathanDirector Apr 4 Rating: 6.4/10 ⭐️ I expected a mindless nostalgia trip, but heavy themes of brotherhood and redemption grounded the crazy action. What Worked: Gritty cinematography and practical explosions give the set pieces massive, tactile weight. Stallone’s blocking perfectly balances the screen time for the legends. Seeing these hardened mercenaries risk their lives for someone else beautifully echoed Methodist beliefs about grace and our deep need to seek redemption for past mistakes. The Cuts: Keeping it spoiler-free, the shaky-cam during close-quarter fights gave me a massive headache. The middle part really dragged for me, bouncing between romantic subplots instead of letting the team banter breathe. The fake CGI blood also totally took me out of the gritty, old-school vibe. Verdict: A loud throwback coasting on cast charisma. Fun to see action legends team up, but skip if you hate shaky-cam and thin plots. See more Kayla G. @KaylaLachea Feb 26 Great action movie!

See more Micah K. @Nemesis-X Feb 7 Any fan of action movies should take a pause and give this movie a chance, because it’s awesome! Some of the greatest of action movie legends coming together all in one film to put some serious hurt on bad guys. Who could ask for more?

Just something really fun and action packed to watch. Brilliant. See more Read all reviews
