SLY STALLONE'S 'THE EXPENDABLES' - A SCRIPT REVIEW

"Vern" over at Ain't It Cool managed to get his hands on a script for the upcoming Sly Stallone actioner "The Expendables." This one seems like a big deal since it also stars Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Forest Whitaker and Randy Couture.

It centers on a ragtag team of a group of elite mercenary badasses.

We're so there ...

Here's part of the review:

"Barney is a very different character from Rambo. For one thing, his name is Barney. For another he talks in more than one sentence sometimes. He's almost a father figure to the team and finds himself always listening to other people's problems and trying to be supportive. The other character who gets the most screen time is the lovelorn Lee Christmas. He's supposed to be American but calls a guy "mate" at one point, which means he's played by Jason Statham. There's also Kong Kao, who will be played by Jet Li. He does alot of kicking, but is much more of a supporting character than Li usually plays. I do think it's a pretty good character for Li, though, because he gets some funny lines. He's an unhappy smartass, not the usual Li type of character."
