"Better than expected!"
4 stars"

This movie was WAY cooler than I was expecting. Much better than The Expendables and a simple DC Comic movie. Recommended for some light-hearted action :) And very cool camera shots.

"Not Bad"
4 stars"

The Losers follows a ragtag team of former special-ops soldiers (Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Clay, Idris Elba's Roque, Chris Evans' Jensen, Columbus Short's Pooch, and Oscar Jaenada's Cougar) as they embark on a campaign of revenge against the sinister mastermind (Jason Patric's Max) who left them for dead. Director Sylvain White has infused The Losers with an uninspired and downright incompetent visual sensibility that immediately establishes itself as the movie's most problematic attribute, as the filmmaker's re­liance on eye-rollingly hackneyed stylistic elements – ie random instances of slow motion, shaky camerawork during fight scenes, etc – ultimately heightens the consistently generic nature of Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt's scre­enplay. The ensuing atmosphere of by-the-numbers tedium effectively prevents the viewer from working up the slightest bit of interest in the title gang's ongoing efforts, with the surprisingly talented cast primarily left floundering as they attempt to breathe life into their one-dimensional, sketchily-conceived characters (ie let's get a moratorium going on wisecracking computer geeks, okay?) The absence of genuine thrills ensures that the action-packed climax is about as exciting as game of Trivial Pusuit, and it's finally impossible to label The Losers as anything more than an aggressively middle-of-the-road revenge thriller (ie this is essentially the action equivalent of a Kate Hudson romcom).

Description

The Losers

Anyone Else Would Be Dead By Now…

An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, The Losers centers around an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search-and-destroy mission. But the team – Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar – soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross instigated by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Making good use of the fact they’re now presumed dead, the group goes deep undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max.

Critic Reviews:

  • " A fun, fast, action thriller with plenty of laughs. " – John Hanlon
  • " “The Losers” was made with one purpose in mind, to simply entertain, and while it may not be a great movie of substance, it certainly fulfills its purpose oh so very well. " – Jeff Beck
  • " An enjoyable romp through gasoline and gunpowder. " – Kevin Carr
