This was like a cross between the (A-Team) and (The Expendables) only with less bullets and bloodshed. But it's also better than you'd be expecting based on that comparison too. A real guys movie, I think. For some reason I'd never heard of this before. It's basically a double crossing revenge tale, following a special forces team who are betrayed and left for dead by a rogue agent. The group become mercenaries and wage war on the CIA and an inside enemy known only as "Max". Losers surprised me, with a decent story, great cast, clever stunts, (the one with a plane, a motorcycle and a man in the engine was awesome) and some smoking hot love scenes. I enjoyed this way more than I expected too. 11.13
... View MoreThe Losers is about a team of elite soldiers, double-crossed and left for dead on foreign soil. Don't you just hate it when that happens? Therefore, they must hunt down and blow up everything. Well, the probably refine it to those responsible for their situation, but they pretty much blow up everything in their path.The plot is certainly not original. Everything in the big-budget version of the A-team does it better. However, that's not to say that The Losers doesn't have its merits.Yes, it's a B-movie, but it has enough decent actors to give it just that little bit more appeal than your average 'filler' movie. None of the cast are given enough screen time to really develop their characters, as the movie is quite short, but if you're in the mood for plenty of explosions, shoot-outs and punch-ups - all of which are filmed in a very cool 'slow-mo' way, then give this a go.Trust me, there are plenty of worse action B-movies out there!
... View MoreWill someone please put Jeffrey Dean Morgan in more intelligent dark humor action leads? He is just amazing as a charming rogue leader of the marry band, and Chris Evans is an unexpected comic relief with nuanced performance and expansive range of acting. Interesting take on comic book based action flick. It never looses a momentum or pace, it's through and through fun, but if you pay a bit of attention, you will see darker undercurrents and rather deep connotations. Well directed, well paced and entertaining all the way through.There is no pretense here, but that's why the depth of characters and the story comes through in those shining moments. This would be action flick for cool guys and thinking girls.
... View MoreLoved it!! Having never seen the A-Team (as everyone is comparing it to and I'm old enough to have watched it as a teen had I chosen to) I really liked it. I thought these characters were very well acted and likable - especially Cougar and I'm a fan of Jeffery Dean Morgan. The script was well thought out and flowed smoothly with a great mix of action and humour with a few unexpected twists thrown in. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I could easily watch a series based on these characters played by the same actors in this film. It reminded me somewhat of "The Young Guns" with the young Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez and I think Lou Diamond Phillips except in a completely different scenario. The camaraderie, action and humour was all there.
