A new generation of stars join the world's top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles.

Critics Consensus

Solid work from Jason Statham and some halfway decent set pieces aren't enough to make up for Expend4bles' lackluster action and cheap-looking effects.

Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's the third best out of the four, but better than [The Expendables 3] -- and still very entertaining. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jody Rosen Slate If Expend4bles turns out to be a swan song, it’s a fitting one, since it so neatly encapsulates the series’ formula. Oct 2, 2023 Full Review Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Christy Lemire Breakfast All Day It's just a huge waste of people with incredible talent. Rated: 1/10 Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine This is a franchise that has outstayed it's welcome and the ten year gap says that everyone knows it, even Stallone can hardly be asked with this series, and it's not hard to see why. Rated: 1/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (5) John Serba Decider [Statham 's] the only thing worth remembering about this scrap heap of a movie, which sells itself like a Craigslist ad for a sleek sports car when it’s actually a rusty Yugo. Mar 25, 2024 Full Review Expend4bles | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Víctor López G. Espinof Its undeniable dramatic, narrative, and audiovisual shortcomings undermine any attempt to, at the very least, entertain with its repertoire of setpieces for viewers over 18.

Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Mitchell Good plot, a lot of action, highly entertaining if you liked the other expendable movies! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Truc T I liked it but it would've been better with more of the original cast members in it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Eddie Whew, what a disaster. Expendables 1 and 2 were good and entertaining. 3 backslid quite a bit, so I thought Exp 4 would have redeeming qualities. Big mistake. The screenplay was lazy. Casting was a jokeMeghan Fox, really!? And the CGI were terrible. Look, I understand this was a money grab but at least make an attempt to produce something entertaining. Ive never walked out of a movie before but I was really tempted with Expendables 4. Such a disappointing effort. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
