Irony is the condom of the Nineties as they used to say (I forget when).

I tell you what's irony - and that's iron!
I don't know, I think it would work better as a straight film.
Just looks like another Rambo film to me, but this time he's got a few buddies with him. Probably on one last mission together: avenging the death of their mentor. Or something. Yawn.
It would get really annoying if Bruce et al were constantly winking at the camera, thinking 'aren't we funny and ironic and self effacing good sports', etc.
Agreed. But I meant 'ironic' in a more subtle way, think Demolition Man as oppose to, say, Ocean's 12.
Ah, fair enough.
Will be interesting to see how it ends up.

I don't think it's a last mission thing, because many of the cast have already signed up for a sequel. It's more of a "gathering of action heroes".
