Product Description
After members of an elite special forces team are left for dead on a mission, they return and start an undercover battle against the mysterious man wh
Amazon.com
The Losers provides nonstop and pretty thrilling action, with a stellar cast, doing the comic book series from which it was adapted proud in the process. The movie may not have an airtight plot line, but its enthusiastic, talented actors--Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, and the underappreciated Jason Patric--and the crisp, punch-packing direction by Sylvain White more than make up for it. The Losers follows the gambits of a team of U.S. Special Forces, with appropriately comic-bookish names like Clay (Morgan), Roque (Idris Elba), Jensen (Evans), Pooch (Columbus Short), and Cougar (Óscar Jaenada). They're sent to Bolivia, where they are double-crossed and presumed dead--with a big bad evil guy, Max (Patric), hot on their trail. In the jungle, they join up with a mystery woman (Saldana, a confident, believable action hero) with her own agenda--and perhaps not the most trustworthy of intentions. The action is nonstop, with plenty of great special effects, as the team continues mostly under the radar with both its mission and trying to stay one step ahead of the shadowy Max. Morgan is terrific as a budding action star, self-deprecating in the manner of George Clooney, and a man who (almost always) gets the job done. And he'd be nowhere without his crew of sidekicks, all of whom have great chemistry and repartee, though it's Evans's Jensen who gets the best comic-relief lines. "I'm warning you, I am a lethal killing machine," Jensen intones to a mocking disbeliever. "In the words of ancient Taoist masters, 'Don't start none… Won't be none.'" Saldana brings great sex appeal to her role as the mystery ally. The comic-book nonstop action in The Losers makes it the perfect movie escape--a true winner for fans of action, humor, and a little extra kick in the pants. --A.T. Hurley

 Boring August 30, 2010

What a boring "action" movie. The script and dialogue sucked. Just color by numbers flat flick.

J. H. Minde (Boca Raton, Florida and Brooklyn, New York)
THE LOSERS is based on a graphic novel series. What it is, really, is a re-tread of the A-TEAM, but that doesn't take away from the cartoonish, excessive, nonstop action and snappy dialogue of this frenetic film. A definite winner!
 Good Movie August 28, 2010

Hey I'm a tough critic or would give this movie four stars. But I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. A very fun film with plenty of action, good character development, fairly good storyline and a nice segue for a sequel (yeah you get to the end and you're left hanging a bit). I saw the big budget "Expendables" a week ago, and I can tell you this film is what that one should have been. Whereas I left the Expendables laughing at one helluva terrible script, I came away from this one wanting more.
Decent action flick with some ok humor August 27, 2010

3.4 stars
Seems like every other movie these days is a comic book remake (are there that few good scripts floating around?). In the comic book vein, The Losers is a pretty good effort. Morgan is fun, if no great actor, the rest are entertaining, and the action is fast and plentiful.
It's light in tone yet very violent, and the violence is so endless that it gets rather tiring after a while. Jason Patric made me laugh as the villain a number of times, and along with Evans adds most of the fun here. Saldana didn't do it for me; she was far more annoying than sexy, a nightmare in many ways. Maybe that's just me. And hey, it's just a comic book, I mean movie, so who cares.
If you need to see a lot of bad guys get shot and a lot of stuff get blown up, The Losers will do it for you.
