    Just watched this and really enjoyed it beats the hell out of the expendables & the A Team, anyone know if there is going to be a sequel?

    It did turn a profit with the help of dvd/blu-ray sales in the US alone
    The film played in 2,936 theaters and earned $9,406,348 on its opening weekend at the box office at #4.[33][3] The film went on to earn $23.5 million in the United States and more than $5 million internationally for a worldwide total of over $29 million. Added to this, it made over $8.2 million on DVD sales in the USA alone, giving it a minimum earning of $37.6 million - a profit of over $12.6 million before worldwide DVD sales

    I have to say i loved it, so if you want their to be a sequel, I advise buying the DVD. Thats what I plan to do(first DVD I will have bought in nearly 2 years).

    If enough DVDs sell they probably will(might/hopefully) make a sequel.

    Guess what I ordered it off zavvi on Blu-ray last night cost £11.94 delivered which works out about €14.36

    Anyone else think that Jason Patric is slowly morphing into Warren Beatty?

    He's the spit of him!

    I reckon he was the worst thing in the movie though, was still good regardless.

    100% agree!...just off from watching it, WAY better then A-Team or The Expendables, the writing was sharp and whiity + genuine LOL moments....all due to the dan hand that is Peter Berg. It was well paced, had pretty solid acting all round. An intelligent and funny baddie.

    Yer man in the elevator with his pants down....lol!

    yeah it felt pg alright as we had one of the main characters shot in both legs without one drop of blood anywhere, even when he has on bandages they are pristine white :rolleyes:
    it was a fun ride and Jason Patrick just camped it up to high heaven, but i kept thinking isn't this basically the plot for the A-Team?

    Yeah, i got the sense it was originally rated 15 but cut down to 12A, it had the stanard number of "shiits" + one "fuuck", which seems to be the norm for 12A. I thought Jason Patric was fantadtic!

    LOL...shooting his hottie assistant for not holding the umbrealaa over him properly, lol....the actress falling down was bad, she missed her cue! :D

    I remember enjoying this and remember siting down to watch it but I can not remember a single thing about it.
    This for me is worrying as it means that none of the characters mattered a damn to me and it was nothing but fluff.

    People say that it is better than Expendables and A-Team but at least I can remember these, the characters and the storyline. I completly forgto that Zoe Saldana was even in this.

    I will give it anothergo on Disc though

    Yea saw this a while back and it really is a very good, fun movie. Doesnt take itself too seriously and enjoyable characters.

    Really meant to pick-up the comics.

    Im kind of glad that this trumped (for me) both The A-team and The expendables....each of the cast shone without taking spotlight from the others....good enjoyable movie ill watch again.

    Chris Evans was particularly good IMO
