An off the books team of experts from hand to hand combat and weapons experts defend and protect the US from crazies. This is the basis of the first one. Over the course of the 4 films you find out more about the background and how the team started & by whom. In that sense, it’s very layered.
I remember trying to watch the 1st one years ago and not being into it. This time I took it more seriously and liked it alike. The ONE thing it's lacking is heart.
There's brotherhood and bond, but I want heart. I wanna see who these guys are away from each other so their time together MEANS something. That's the only thing missing.
I love that Stallone assembled the action stars of yesteryear. It's so cool seeing all the faves of the genre come back.
Overall, 3 stars. It's good for it's genre.
