While every film of the franchise ensured its audience a nail-biting performance, it received widespread recognition, for casting Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone on-screen together, for the first time. However, the Expendables did not just receive a hoard full of plaudits because of its heroes, but the movie critics also got stirred by the action of its villains.
