A burly man in a buzz-cut crosses a busy street, nearly running into a passing cab. Nearby, two Miami police officers monitor a bustling crowd beside their squad car.
The man is Spanish actor Antonio Banderas and standing in for the Magic City is Greece’s northern metropolis Thessaloniki where Millennium Media, producers of The Expendables series, are shooting their latest action flick.
