When a ragtag group of military specialist, consisting of Clay (Morgan) who is their captain, Roque (Elba), Jensen (Evans), Pooch (Short) and Cougar (Jaenada) are sent into a jungle in South America to terminate a high powered drug kingpin, the mission gets messy when there intended target is surrounded by children and Clay wants to pull out. But the person who assigned them for the mission who is just a voice over the microphone intends to carry on with the plan with intentions of including Clay and his team to the extermination list. But when the team manage to elude their demise and must go in to hiding (because they are believed to be dead), they are presented with a proposal from the strange but sexy Aisha (Saldana) who can get them close to the man behind the voice so that they can get their revenge.
Reel Talk:
This movie doesn’t pack the dynamic punch that I expected from it, but it still was a worthwhile movie. Very predictable story with very few surprises, but with likable characters that keeps you interested. Even Jason Patric as the villain Max was witty and wicked which brought about a few laughs. This seems to be the first movie released out of the military buddies cliché movies due out this year with The Expendables and The A Team to follow. Still this is a film that is worth seeing, good for a few laughs and decent action.
