Jason Statham's husky voice, Clive Owen's glorious 'tache and Robert 'God' De Niro cannot save this mess of a film. You expect to see an
Expendables-lite action-fest where Stath goes against the 'tache, taking DeNiro's shaggy beard along the way, instead you get a trailer that runs just short of 2.5 hours. It refuses to slow down to reflect on a scene, a quip, or a plot twist. There are plenty of those, but the shambolic editing and an inability to tell a decent story quickly exhaust one's patience. This is by far the worst film I have seen all year.
