That being said the action is very satisfying and graphic, I was a big fan of Rambo 4 and this is very much in the same vein. Plus seeing stone cold steve austin fighting stallone was a real treat, and probably a wet dream to wwe fans residing in their mothers basement everywhere.

Don't go into the film expecting any form of cohesive narrative, because it is very absent, to the point you wonder if they hired any actual screenwriters. Part of me believes Stallone came up with the story to this film by playing with action figures.
