The Director: Maybe the next film could do with a touch of the surreal. The first film was fun, but we didn’t feel the need to discuss it length afterwards. And we’re pretty sure we understood all of it after one viewing. Drafting in David Lynch would change all that! And surely he’d be keen to work with such luminaries as Randy Couture?
The Plot: A non-linear stroll through the tortured imagination of Stallone’s haunted killer, in which it is near impossible to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Did Sly kill all those people? Was he ever a mercenary, or just a deluded loner with violent urges? We’ll probably be none the wiser come the end, but it could still be fun!
Cast Additions: We would have loved to have seen the late Dennis Hopper as the villain, but in his absence we’ll make do with Kyle McLachlan.
Stand-Out Scene: A terrifying dream sequence in which Stallone finds himself wandering around an asylum where everyone has Dolph Lundgren’s face. Yikes.

Why not have Friedberg and Seltzer do it? And have lots and lots and lots of explosions 'accidently' go off under thier trailer?

So basically this list was name every hip or popular director of this generation? Seriously...Aronofsky, Scorsese, Wes Anderson? This isn't really the type of movie they'd make. I think we're grasping at straws with some of these lists lately.

Stopped looking at this article half way through. Seriously you guys must be taking the p**s. Can't you for one minute do a serious article. Past few features on here have been lazy and pointless. What's the point in us reading them if all your doing is messing around. Get of your fat lazy arses and do some proper writing, hacks.

An action thriller by Michael Mann with his ultra-realistic style? Shootout scenes in Public Enemies were awesome (actually, in every Mann movie I've seen). However, it sounds as unreasonable as Scorcese or Lynch directing it. Plus, I think a sequels will be absolete with this one, no?

Aside from this list just being a random collection of contemporary directors, it basically just takes digs at the Expendables. The Expendables went down incredibly well, for the Boxoffice and film fans. Can TF please swallow its pride at getting the cruel 2 star rating utterly wrong and stop taking digs at a film that's otherwise very well recieved.

"Expendables 1" was an amazing! The direction is perfect and timing. Hope that in "Expendables 2" , they would add another cast.... And I would like to greet a Sam Botta a "Happy Birthday and Congratulations on your new show Live Fearless with Sam Botta by Movie Tech Studios" Director Ewing Miles (Lucky) Brown says Sam Botta has lost 70 lbs for this show. Interesting! : )
