10 Amazing Movie Scenes That Came Totally Out Of Nowhere
8. Tool's Monologue - The Expendables
Nobody expects great acting or genuine pathos from an Expendables movie of all things, yet Mickey Rourke - fresh off an Oscar nomination for The Wrestler - gave 110% regardless in his small role.
In the action star team-up movie, Rourke plays Tool, a tattoo expert and close friend of Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) who actually stays out of the action entirely.
In a mid-film chit-chat, though, Tool stops the film dead in its tracks by recounting a haunting story from a mission he undertook with Barney in Bosnia, where in the middle of a massacre he glimpsed a woman on a bridge and, knowing she was about to jump, did nothing to help her.
It's a phenomenal monologue expertly delivered by Rourke, and ultimately feels like it has no business in an Expendables movie.
A lesser director would've cut such a scene for disrupting the film's overall mood and tone, yet Stallone smartly kept it in and gave audiences a mini dramatic treat completely out of nowhere.
