6.5/10 but only because of the Terry Crews shotty scene, that was brilliant.
The church scene with Arnie, Sly and Bruce was embarrassingly poor.

Watched this last night, I still feel dirty now.
i thought it was alrite.
8/10 for me, thats only because of the amount of legends it had in it, some of my favorite actors all in one, but i think the film could have been allot longer, and it did take some of the glory away from some of the big actors, they did not have enough screen time.

2/10 would have been 0/10 but for Terry Crews and his shotgun, it was the only bit I enjoyed.
Awful writing, multicam switching fight scenes because they are so old now.
The only other bit I enjoyed was watching Sylvester Stallone trying to run!

It was a pretty poor film.
I gotta admit, this was my favourite part.
"whats his problem?" "He wants to be president"

Great film, did exactly what I expected it too i.e. could switch off my brain and just plain enjoy the action.
Exactly it was always going to be rambo/commando like with plenty of cheese and it delivered.

One of the worst films I've ever watched, and that's saying something, I've seen The Human Centipede and Tommy Wiseau's The Room.
See this annoys me. People often forget that the first Rambo film, First Blood, was actually a very good film in it's own right, with none of the terrible cliches that the rest of the franchise films cached in on.

Just watched this and thought it was dreadful, took some doing but I stuck it out to the end, very poor.

Rambo 4 was incredibly enjoyable to watch though where as me and many others i've spoken to found this to be boring and not entertaining.

I'm not sure what people are talking about, there were some great action films in the 80's and 90's, that had GOOD ACTION IN IT. EVerything in the room doesn't have to explode to be good action, infact I always class that as bad action in general, a good believable fight, between people acting as trained killers. Total Recall had plenty of action, its cheesy and dodgey as hell but its still fun, just throwing in the same people and putting in truly dreadful over the top impossible action that literally makes no sense. I could barely get past the first fight scene it was so painfully poor. bunch of guys, high ground, night vision, no one knows they are there, opens up a stupid dialogue, gets into stupid fight, more awful dialogue, give up every advantage, etc, etc, etc. All of it was ridiculous start to finish. Guns out, huge advantage, shoot them, its over, then add in a daft line.
Infact an old great action film would have watched a sneaky approach with some cool gadgets to get past the security and get in place then just shoot them all and it would have been a decent scene. Instead this just ignores everything, they are just there, and they utterly screw up the fight.
Utter utter rubbish, there were truly dreadful action films back in the 80's and 90's, and this is a throw back to them. Die Hard was fantastic, as were several of the Arnie and Sly films, this, was utter utter turd.

Just watched it, loved it. Real throw back to 80's action cheese, limited plot, huge body count, off the cuff one-liners.

Saw this over Christmas, after all the grief it had on here I wasn't expecting much
When it finished, I felt as if I'd just watched the sequel to Commando -in a good way
Statham didn't ruin it like his usual rubbish American roles he has.
The 'just got a text' scene was the only cringe for me. The arnie scene was nice touch too

Is there a difference between the 15 version on Dvd and the 18 on bluray? They run for the exact same time.
