The action is messy, the geography indiscernible, and a few shots seem stitched together with but a single pixel and a prayer.

As Christmas chortles atop an all-terrain vehicle while wielding a .50 caliber weapon, it looks like it could have been shot with rear projection, the green screen work is so shoddy. The scene is so incredibly bad and unbelievably wacky that one simply has to laugh in disbelief.But that is far preferable to the rest of the film, which becomes mind-numbingly dull. Stallone dips out, and Gina takes over leading the Expendables, though Fox seems exceptionally disinterested in the whole affair.

Gina’s team now has to liberate the same set of nuclear detonators from a container ship en route to Vladivostok. But they are quickly confined by Rahmat’s henchmen, and spend most of the movie standing around a small room, or sauntering around the ship trading stale jabs. Christmas has been left out of this mission for a minor infraction, but he makes his way aboard nevertheless, and thank goodness, as he’s seemingly the only Expendable with any pep in his step.
