The series ends with a couple of what can be generously called 'twists' and the threat of more movies to come.
The Big Picture The dire new action film that is mostly a drag to sit through, Expend4bles, is now upon us and has proven to be the worst film in The Expendables series by far. While this may not come as a shock, there is much that the film treats as being a surprise even as you can see it all coming from a mile away. There is a “stunning” betrayal, a reversal of a key death, and a punchline that calls back to a joke that wasn’t funny the first time it happened.
This all begins with a mission that goes terribly wrong. It involves Barney , Christmas , Gunner , Easy , Galan , and Toll , who are all overseen by their toothpick-chewing handler Marsh that brought this operation to them in the first place. They are trying to take down Suarto Rahmat who has stolen nuclear weapons that he is going to use to cause a war between the United States and Russia. While trying to do so, Barney dies in a fiery explosion after his plane is shot down.
Who Is Secretly Ocelot in 'Expend4bles'? Surprise surprise, Marsh was actually Ocelot. When the film culminates in an extended fight on an ocean liner with the nuclear bomb ticking down, this is revealed and more fighting ensues. His betrayal is both abundantly obvious and half-baked, playing more as an obligatory twist that doesn’t have any life behind it. Garcia hams up the performance a bit, but there is nothing really to it.
Does 'Expend4bles' Set up for a Sequel? With the mission over, everyone ends up back at their favorite bar for drinks and jokes. Considering everyone is still very much alive, there is the potential that everyone could theoretically come back as it seems like everyone just had a jolly good time even as the experience of watching their adventure was mostly dull.
