A star rating of 1 out of 5.

James Mottram

This appalling fourth outing in Sylvester Stallone's action-adventure franchise creaks like old bones. The gang heads to Libya to bring down a private army that has swiped nuclear detonators and is threatening an international incident. When the mission goes awry, things get personal. Stallone's cigar-chomping Barney Ross lets Jason Statham's Lee Christmas do most of the fighting, while 50 Cent, Dolph Lundgren and Megan Fox barely get a look in. Asian superstars Tony Jaa (Ong-Bak) and Iwo Uwais (The Raid) add some charisma to their fight scenes, but events are hampered by a brainless script with a twist so obvious, a five-year-old could predict it. Lacking the humour of the earlier outings (where's Arnold Schwarzenegger when you need him?), the film also looks oddly cheap, while the endless explosions get tedious with every passing bang. Dumb and deadly dull.
