Why watch this film?
Action, muscle and a good dose of adrenaline. The return of The Expendables is the return of Sylvester Stallone to his best years after playing the legendary 'Rocky Balboa'. Stallone leads the cast, mostly composed of muscular men from the 80s and 90s, among which stand out Jean-Claude Van Damme ('Universal Soldier'), Chuck Norris ('Walker, Texas Ranger') and... Arnold Schwarzenegger ('Terminator'). We also have the new generation of warriors led by Liam Hemsworth ('The Hunger Games'). A movie with lots of testosterone, rude, violent and brave. 'The Expendables 2' will not disappoint fans of high voltage action full of big stars.

Con Air
Along with 'Frenzy', and 'Lord of War', the movie 'Con Air' forms a kind of holy trinity of action and crime films from Nicolas Cage. After all, they are intense films, with fun premises, and have become firmly established in popular imagination. In the case of 'Con Air', filmmaker Simon West ('The Expendables 2') hits it out of the park with the story. In it, a prisoner on parole hitches a ride on a flight with the most dangerous criminals in the United States. From there, Cage, John Malkovich ('The Box'), John Cusack ('2012'), Steve Buscemi ('The Death of Stalin') and Danny Trejo ('Machete Kills') create chaos inside this plane and make it one of the most entertaining and exciting action films of all time. Not to mention Nicolas Cage's long hair, which has become a perpetual symbol among fans of the American star.
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
Angelina Jolie embodies the great video game heroine in 'Lara Croft: Tomb Raider', one of the biggest box office successes with a female lead in an action movie. Jolie, who was on a roll with 'The Bone Collector' and 'Girl Interrupted', fit the role perfectly, creating an intriguing and powerful character. Also noteworthy is Jon Voight, the actress's father, who plays the role of... Lara Croft's father in the story. The feature works very well as entertainment, so much so that it spawned a sequel, 'Tomb Raider: The Origin of Life'. However, it should be said: those looking for a story completely related to the video games may be disappointed. After all, director Simon West (of 'Con Air') gave his vision of the plot, which takes on more 'Indiana Jones'-like traits.
The General's Daughter
One of John Travolta's most interesting (and unknown!) roles, 'The General's Daughter' is an unusual military suspense. After all, the plot delves into the investigation of a crime committed at the highest level of the American army, directly involving politicians, military personnel and people connected to power. Travolta (who was highly rated at the time after 'Beyond the Red Line') consolidates himself as the moral reserve of the story, tracing an interesting confessional narrative with the public. It is not Simon West's best film (from 'Con Air' and 'Lara Croft'), but it should keep the viewer in their seat throughout its almost two hours with a plot that provokes, instigates and, above all, makes the viewer reflect.
Skyfire
Movies about volcanoes have long been considered a great hit for the 'Afternoon Session'. Who doesn't remember 'Dante's Inferno'? 'Skyfire' brings back this premise and takes it to another level. The production follows a researcher who wants to help people in a theme park built around a volcano that is about to erupt. It's a mix of 'Dante's Inferno' and 'Jurassic World: The Dinosaur World'. It's an action movie that is also recommended for those who like 'Rampage: Total Destruction', 'San Andreas Fault Earthquake' and 'Skyscraper'. To make 'Skyfire' even more interesting, all it needed was Dwayne Johnson in the cast.
Action
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
Enemies Closer
Enemies Closer, a movie starring Van Damme, brings a fun story: Henry (Tom Everett Scott) and Clay (Orlando Jones) are mortal enemies who must set aside their differences to help a drug lord (Jean-Claude Van Damme) locate a missing drug shipment. The film features a plot full of twists that keeps the viewer constantly engaged, in a good mix of suspense and action. Van Damme also steps out of his comfort zone, playing this crime boss full of quirks - but still with plenty of brawling.
The Replicant
Replicant, one of Van Damme's best movies, goes far beyond just brawling. Firstly, the plot presents an intriguing reflection on ethics and morality in the age of advanced technology, exploring the theme of human cloning through a serial killer who is cloned to help capture the criminal, working alongside two policemen. Moreover, Van Damme's acting skills and the intensity of the action scenes provide thrilling entertainment for genre lovers with a mix of suspense, drama, and adrenaline.
