Movies: Hit and Run, Expendables 2

Hit and Run got a great review in the Dom so I had to take a look. The reviewer reckoned it was a well put together car chase comedy with bits of good dialogue, which I suppose it was.
Written by the lead actor, it was about a bloke breaking cover from witness protection to help his girlfriend get to LA, then coming to the notice of his erstwhile baddie accomplices via being ratted on by the guy ignored by the girl. Yawn, 3 out of 5.

Expendables 2 as could be expected got a bum review, but I loved it and so did everyone else in the theatre. Bruce, Arnie, Jason, Jet, Sly, and the other action blokes, it was great to see, and bugger me, up pops Chuck Norris with a big tongue in cheek.
Several thousand rounds got expended and heaps of baddies got deaded, and only one goodie got his beans in a dastardly way, triggering the revenge side of the plot.
Only downside was JC van Damme getting cast as the nasty, but at least in the one-on-ones we didnt have to endure the heroes getting beat to within an inch of their life, then making a miraculous comeback to prevail in the duel. 4 out 5.
