Since this has been sitting on my DVD shelf for a few months, I thought I should get round to giving it a watch.

And, well, it's not too bad really.

Sure, the characters don't really go beyond the captions describing their roles in the team. Sure, the plot is basically that of The A Team. Sure, the bad guy's plan is the same one you've seen a million times before.

However, the action scenes are pretty decent, with the last 30 minutes being particularly awesome and the cast is fun to watch, especially Chris Evans who basically steals the scene every time he's on the screen.

So yeah, even though you'll feel like you've seen it before, if you're looking for a mindless, enjoyable action movie, you could do a lot worse than this.

Bad guy Max, kills his elite team of mercenaries, when they fail to carry out a job.

Guess what?

They're not dead.

With the help of sexy femme fatale; Aisha,(Zoe Saldana) Col. Clay and his boys decide it's payback time! FUCK YEAH!

What ensues is not clever, but it's damn good fun. We've got a highly skilled sniper, a tech expert, an explosions expert and together they are one badass team. Like the A-Team, only badder, and with more killing.

I loved Jason Patrick as the crazed world-dominator-wanna-be, Max.
the star of the show is Chris Evans. He made it cool to like Journey and pink t-shirts!

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A pleasant surprise of a film. Exciting, fun, and stylish.

The best bit of the movie is the end clip of the football game. Hilarious. The rest of the movie was mediocre at best. Not one I will hurry to re-watch.

Pretty much what you'd expect. Lots of explosions. Clichéd characters and moments. Campy humor. Something entertaining to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

I LOVED this movie. I thought it was a little unevenly paced and there's one event that happens in the story that doesn't really make much sense, but other than that it's absolutely fantastic. More than anything, this film never forgets to have a good time. The opening scenes set the tone and not once does the film stray. The acting is fantastic. Chris Evans in particular was fucking BRILLIANT ("do you.. like the angle of the dangle?"). His character had me in stitches the entire time, and I'm not even high. Jason Patric also made an awesome supervillain, and the opening scene with him is fantastic ("What the hell was that? At MOST, that was a "break his fingers" nod, jesus christ"). The film is pretty much packed full of humor and a surprising amount of wit. Idris Elba really can't do an American accent for shit, though.

If THE LOSERS had come out in 1995 it wouldn’t have been half bad. But it came out in 2010, so it’s just a boring, cheesy, dated slog of a movie.

A fun villain portrayed by Jason Patric from The Lost Boys, very cartoonish with a plot to nuke countries but they are eco friendly nukes facing off against Captain America, The Comedian, Zoe Zaldana being sexy as hell, Mexican Sniper, the Rookie, and Idris Elba being a bastard

Petoksia, kostoja, visuaalisesti näyttäviä slow motioneja. Heikosta tarinasta huolimatta viihdyttävää settiä.

The problem with adaptng non-superhero comics is, often the fact that they were comics was the most interesting thing about them. So it is with The Losers, which like R.E.D. ends up being another extremely generic action movie. The cast are good and the script witty enough to prevent it being a complete loss, but it amounts to very little and Sylvain White's direction is headache-inducing in spots.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Stupid action movie. If you keep that in mind it's good.

Was an average film. Not everyone's cup of tea.
