A Masterpiece!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

What does "The Losers" mean? I've expected that it means the people who loses a kind of games or something. It's partly true, but I guess losers include double meanings.Actually I don't like such an uninteresting action or battle movie because everyone kills people in a battle and becomes a bad guy, but I'm excited at watching this movie. I don't know why. Sometimes there are some miserable scenes, though. It's sometimes serious, however, it sometimes contains jokes like a comedy movie. And the rock music as a background music is so cool. I think that's why I can watch it with laughing until the end. If not so, I really hate and stop watching it.Also, we can think about what friendship is and the importance of trusting our fellows.

Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) leads Jensen (Chris Evans), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short) and Cougar (Óscar Jaenada) in a special operations in Bolivia. They try to stop the strike when they see the cartel using kids as mules. They try to evacuate the kids on their helicopter. However, they are doublecrossed and their helicopter gets shoot down thinking the team is on it. In the ensuing bad press, the government declares them deceased and deny any knowledge of their operation. Agent Aisha (Zoe Saldana) tracks down the team for a mission to stop Max (Jason Patric) who is trying to sell a high tech weapon to the highest bidder.The movie doesn't waste any time on exposition or introducing the characters. The plot is simplistic. The villain is a cartoon. It doesn't build much upon it comic book identity. That's both its weakest and its strength. The actors are solid although the team probably needs one comedian. The sardonic jokes are simple fun. It needs a more interesting script and some crazier action. The action is probably prohibited by the lower range budget.

Loved 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.

A movie that starts promisingly, the cast are perfectly capable actors but the script is woeful and scenes which are supposed to evoke tension are both devoid of any and utterly predictable. Zoe Saldana plays Aisha of whom it is claimed "...the CIA has a standing kill order on her, as does Hamas, Sinn Féin, pretty much everyone with the exception of PETA wants this chick amscrayed". Whilst it may be possible that the CIA and the military wing of Hamas want this lady dead, Sinn Féin is a political party who do not have outstanding kill orders on anyone. They are affiliated with the Provisional IRA who might engage in such activities. In short, the script is idiotic and at times makes no sense. There are some decent special effects that are completely wasted on a movie so poorly thought out and the same goes for the cast who do an amazing job of making this turd of a movie seem vaguely palatable. Unfortunately this picture isn't even so bad it's good. It is just awful. Utterly forgettable.
