Martyrs in their twilight years are full of courage

With Stallone's death squad, the actions of Bruce Willis' team of retired and extremely dangerous senior agents are easy to understand.
It is foreseeable that after the governor retires, he will continue to concoct this way.
Is this a throwback to the golden generation of action stars of the year or a satire on the lack of famous modern action stars?
The old men have still strong skills, rich experience and conversation, a group of buddies who share life and death, and always love young and beautiful girls, the eternal Hollywood theme.
However, this film still has the traces of a typical Bruce Willis movie:
1. He is always covered in injuries
2. He never knows how to back down, and he takes the initiative to find a younger agent to compete, how can he fail? Because "I am your master's master".
3. The most outstanding part of the happy ending
is a few supporting characters, especially the old man of the Russian intelligence agency, and there is a romantic past.
After watching it, I was thinking, if a group of veteran actors who shot the Condor in 1984 made a martial arts film to interpret the martyrs in their old age, what would they be like?
