Armed with every weapon they can get their hands on and the skills to use them, The Expendables are the world's last line of defense and the team that gets called when all other options are off the table. But new team members with new styles and tactics are going to give "new blood" a whole new meaning.
The film received largely negative reviews from critics, with much of the criticism focusing on the lackluster cast, plot, violence and the poor CGI effects, and has grossed $30 million worldwide against a budget of $100 million.
Also to premiere this Friday is the science fiction film The Creator starring John David Washington, Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Sturgill Simpson, and Allison Janney. Its plot, set in a future impacted by war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, follows an ex-special forces agent who is recruited to hunt down and kill the "Creator", who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war by destroying mankind itself.

Set between the events of Saw I and II, a sick and desperate John travels to Mexico for a risky and experimental medical procedure in hopes of a miracle cure for his cancer – only to discover the entire operation is a scam to defraud the most vulnerable. Armed with a newfound purpose, John returns to his work, turning the tables on the con artists in his signature visceral way through a series of ingenious and terrifying traps.
