Robot Holocaust

Labels: ,
Directed by Sylvester Stalone
Written by Dave Callaham and Sylvester Stalone
IMDB

Sylvester Stalone leads a group of mercenaries for hire (Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews) into battle against a rogue CIA agent (Eric Roberts), his right hand man (Stone Cold Steve Austin), and his army on a small Latin American island.  Here’s what you need to know: things explode, people die.
A ridiculous, overblown film that perfectly mimics the excess of the 1980s.  As a movie it is just pure fun, but as an action movie it is actually pretty good.  The cast is very strong and there are plenty of fun cameos.  Plus, things fucking explode and people’s throats are slit.  This is not an homage to 80s action movies, this is an 80s action movie.


7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
