What: “The Expendables 3”

Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Antonio Banderas, Jet Li, Wesley Snipes, Dolph Lundgren, Kelsey Grammer, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Kellan Lutz, Ronda Rousey, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Writers: Sylvester Stallone, Creighton Rothenberger and Katrin Benedikt

Director: Patrick Hughes

The story: The co-founder of The Expendables (Gibson) wages war against his former team in this sequel.

The buzz: “Get ready for one last ride,” the trailers scream. It almost would have to be the last ride. Considering this installment adds movie tough guys Gibson, Banderas, Snipes and Ford to the mix — as well as noted action star Grammer — there aren’t that many options left to join Stallone’s over-the-hill gang.
