Mercenaries (2014)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

People comparing this movie to Expendables, but it's more like The Dirty Dozen, or the other similar movie the Soldier Boyz. Both starts with picking people from prison to make a team for a suicide mission, just like this movie. It has funny moments, action, shooting, fistfights. The acting is ok for a B movie, the CGI makes it look weird, but makes it funny too at the same time, so even that has entertainment factor. Worth watching. Get it on DVD, since it's like 3 bucks.

A truly horrible knockoff of The A-Team on Premarin. A terrible plan, with no hope of success, badly executed. On their own the actresses might have pulled it off... as in faintly interesting with enough alcohol - but with no direction over no plot where is the hope. Try this with some suicidal pals - every body gets in a double wide garage with AK-47's and fires 700 rounds each - at each other - OK? Ha Ha I fooled ya - it's the A-Team on Midol!!! No one gets hit - not even grazed! Cause after all they're all 8 feet apart!! Ha Ha can't hit a standing target!! Fox takes a hostage 4 feet from Clay and escapes - hello - shoot her in the brain stem all gone! Once again a movie not worth a review but cheaper than therapy...

I really think there should be a "0 stars" vote for occasions like this... movie (since other people are calling it that). Eventually it deserved my 1 star by giving me the sense that everybody can make movies. Obviously you do not need a plot that follows human nature, or some logic, or any sense at all as long as the good guys win and the bad guys die. Acting is not necessary. You are not even required to care enough to watch and see your creation afterward (it's alive!). After I submit this review I am going to call some friends and in two or three days I believe we can create "Mercenaries 2". After all, my homemade clips of my kids, family and friends contain more action, comedy and drama than this m-m-m... sorry, cannot call it that twice.

Definitely not in a movie theater. Paying money for rent is also a rip-off. Let's say you've downloaded it somehow or borrowed it from a friend or whatever.The best you can do to watch this thing and not feel much regret after is by skipping. Most movie, DVD, blue-ray players these days have this function, so use it. Skip every 5 seconds until you see something you might like, get disappointed and continue skipping. Any level of masochism in your character also helps getting to the end of this torture.I'd also recommend skipping the entire movie if wasn't for the cast. Some of the actresses deserve to be seen, I know, so you will get tempted. If you can't resist the urge use the method described above to avoid frustration.
