The Losers

A bunch of special ops soldiers working for the CIA are framed during an operation. Stranded in South America they are offered assistance in reclaming their lives by a sultry femme fatale.

If this sounds like the opening spiel for the A-team you pretty much know what's going on here. This tries to update the much loved 80s show by adding some grit and modern sleekness but it falls short.

There's just enough witty repartee to entertain but not enough to make me care about the characters. They only shoot bad guys. Innocent parties in the way get tranquliser darts which seems cliched. The action is fun but mostly unspectacular.

The Losers are diverting, not dreadful but they could have been better than that. Guess I'll just have to wait for the real A-Team.
