The Losers (2010) 8/10

Starring : Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Columbus Short
Director : Sylvain White
Running Time : 97 mins

A Special Forces Unit is sent into the Bolivian jungle on a routine mission, only to discover that they’ve been sent on a suicide mission by their superiors. Presumed dead, the group of misfits begin to plan against their former bosses, tracking them down and plotting their revenge.

This was a really enjoyable movie, rather annoyingly better than The A-Team which it is clearly a comic book homage to. The characters were not your stereotypical stereotypes, the action was frequent but not too over the top, and the plot, though reminiscent of many other movies and TV shows, was handled expertly and not dragged out past the point of caring. A must for all action movie fans.

You’ll like this if you liked : The A-Team
