"Expend4bles: Megan Fox Joins the Old Boys, but the Series' Appeal Fades"

"Expend4bles" attempts to revive the aging action heroes of the Reagan era, but falls short in capturing the spirit of the original films. The action is digitally propulsive, yet the preferred mode of killing remains primitive. The revolving-door casting feels random and dilutes the original concept. The interplay between Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham provides some entertainment, but the plot lacks twists and the action lacks a distinct style. Overall, "Expend4bles" fails to recapture the old-school combat destruction of the '80s and feels like 21st-century trash.
