I won't be expecting to see anything good like Rescue Dawn (which was really good even though the director is an idiot) but then you don't expect any Oscar performances out of Stallone.

Oscar worthy performances? No. Hell, no.

80's gunplay where dudes fire from the hip with unlimited ammo? No. Hell, no.

One of the biggest thrills is that whoever was doing the military advising knew what the hell they were talking about and advised Stallone correctly. Everyone aims their rifles, guys move properly, etc, etc. A few rounds from Schoolboy's Barrett make the bad guys fly backwards a bit too far... but nothing to complain about (hell, you'll even see Rambo reloading a .50 while under fire).

God i went and watchd this with my GF, and even she thought it was awesome! Get in stallone, the man is a beast, and although the captain of the SAS is a bit annoying, i think the sniper keeps the british end up nicely!

Best action i have seen in AGES, highly recommend to everyone!
