It's like Ocean's Eleven... but the ones that didn't make the cut!

The Expendables

ONLY STALLONE CAN PULL THIS OFF!

Life circumstances - art imitating life situations (call them what you will) such as penning "Rocky" and winning an oscar for it happen only once.

Have you seen "John Rambo" for god's sake? Or "Rocky Balboa"? He penned those too!

Now, the cast is a bunch stereotypical secondaries excluding Mr.Kingsley .You'll have to forgive me for not adding Forest Whitaker, as i think he's no different. I Think the guy has no range and that "Scotland" was a part that fitted the guy he always plays.

As for Good ol' mickey, i praised the guy like a god right after watching "The Wrestler" (in which the guy absolutely rocks!). But that falls into the "Life Circumstances - art imitating life" situation that just worked for the film.

But man... Kingsley accepting??? Either this is the second gem audiences awaited since rocky from stallone, or ben needs to build another pool (ill opt for the 2nd judging by his recent choices: Transiberian)

This is gonna be "space cowboys" all over again... with machine guns!

Did you ever see him in "Sexy Beast"? The guy can pull off the "tough guy" roll very well.

Ben Kingsley was in about 47 movies this year, including The Love Guru. I think he's got some bills to pay.

and then it gets ripped off a gazillion times...sometimes to great effect. for example, "the wrestler."
