“The Expendables 3” goes somewhat more cerebral than its two predecessors, earning a PG-13 rating instead of the R awarded to “The Expendables” (2010) and “The Expendables 2” (2012). Creator Sylvester Stallone was trying to reach a wider audience, with limited success. However, action sequences are still plentiful, thanks to the screenplay by Creighton Rothenberger, Katrin Benedikt, and Sylvester Stallone.
Familiar faces and big Hollywood names also continue to be a staple in this third outing, directed by Patrick Hughes (“Red Hill” 2010). Star Sylvester Stallone’s team includes Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Terry Crews. Supporting cast members are Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Glen Powell, Victor Ortiz, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammar, Antonio Banderas, Robert Davi, Mel Gibson, and the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, in one of his first handful of movie roles since leaving his job as Governor of California in 2011.
The big box office for “The Expendables 3” ensures a fourth installment, set to be released in September of 2023. This guarantees continued employment for stuntmen, explosive experts, and actors with marginal performing abilities.
