  "description": "The 4th entry in the Expendables franchise is closer in line with the 2nd and feels a bit incongruous. A lot of the original cast is back (and Curtis Jackson is a solid edition) but the change in the cast goes almost entirely unexplained. The 3rd installment had set up new cast members, all of whom are absent from this film. Instead, we get Jackson, Megan Fox, Levy Tran and Jacob Scipio. They're all solid, but totally unexplained — just there. Andy Garcia is a welcome addition as well, but the \"twist\" of him being the villain is predictable — every villain up to this point has been an established actor, leaving him as the obvious candidate to become the primary villain in the story as the film progresses. It's not a bad movie by the franchises standards, just a return to the norm. Fun, action packed and I'm glad Statham's taking a more prominent role.",
