... View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreI am stunned at the number of 5-plus star reviews; did everyone see the same film? I think a lot of people are star-struck that 'Negan' has a big role, but they must also admit that the guy CANNOT act. Rugged handsome, yes, but a C-rate actor. The only reason this got 2 stars instead of one or even zero is because there was effort made to make a good movie, it just failed MISERABLY. Everything was just preposterous. They toss their dog tags into the wreckage of the crashed helicopter, and that works to convince everyone (investigators included) that their 5 bodies are in the ash. They hijack a helicopter on a freeway that has ZERO traffic in either direction for what amounts to hours. They endure wounds that heal within moments, but they can get face punched a hundred times and not a drop of blood. A helicopter with a big magnet can lift an armored car and carry it away all while being shot at by men with huge machine guns. A jet plane is going to take off from the docks at a port full of shipping crates. E-gads, this was the worst movie ever. The only reason I stayed through to the end was because I have a mental condition; once I'm 25% in to a movie, no matter how bad it is I have to watch it. I should see a doctor, I know.
... View MoreThe second they put the kids on the helicopter it was SO obvious the helicopter would be shot down and they would spend the rest of the film seeking revenge. All the plot elements are so predictable it's laughable. The betrayal of a team member the hero had a fight with, the team being rescued by the female co-star, the villain shooting the tech guy as soon as he armed the bomb. There isn't a shred of originality to be found ANYWHERE in this film. The evil villain is ridiculously cartoonish. I suspected he would either walk away at the end or have a quick, easy death, because that's how stupid this film is. And I was right. The villain got away with just a bullet wound in the shoulder. My guess is they opted to let him get away because they were vainly assuming this would become a franchise (no need to create a new insane megalomaniac villain).
... View MoreThe Losers (2010): Dir: Sylvain White / Cast: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Jason Patric: Amusing action comedy that doesn't always work but it does have the personalities to back it up. Title doesn't necessarily ring true because even though these guys are a few steps behind, they still get the job done. They are a special forces unit believed dead after a helicopter explosion. They receive opportunity to wreck revenge on the evil mastermind who set them up. Directed by Sylvain White with much humour in tact and action sometimes out of hand. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays the Colonel who doubts his leadership skills after a tragedy occurs that cost the lives of children. His leadership is also doubted and tested by others but his skill is obvious. Zoe Saldana steals scenes as a contact who issues the Losers an opportunity to get back into the U.S and get revenge. What makes her interesting is that it isn't always clear what her motives are. She isn't totally trusted, which added tension. Chris Evans provides comic relief as one of the Losers who takes several risks that often payoff with amusing results. Idris Elba plays another member who lacks faith in their force and adds for a decent plot twist. Finally we have Jason Patric whose career seems built around material just like this, although Narc remains perhaps his best work. Unfortunately this all winds down to action violence that carries on longer than welcomed. While the action is entertaining, it is the humour that excelled best. Otherwise this is a pointless action farce that is clever and a winner. Score: 6 / 10
... View MoreThis is a story about one group of special missions of the government called "LOSERs," picking the initials from each member of the group. This group includes five people. Each of them has a particular skill. Some problems occurred to them in the story and the group becomes a real loser. They struggle to suffer their disgrace.The most interesting point of this movie is that it is full of power which makes the viewers thrilled and excited very much. It contains a lot of scenes of fighting. Even female, they fight fiercely with weapons such as guns. In addition, how the story develops is interesting, too. There are some big parts viewers cannot have ever expected.What the story of this movie wants to tell is, in my opinion, that there does not exist any perfect justice. There might be betrayals around you. You should not believe in people around you too much even though they are close to you. I am so much as feel scary after watching this movie.In conclusion, this is a story of a mission group which includes five people with special skills individually. It tells that perfect justice cannot be existence because there can be betrayals in any time. Anyway, this is a great movie which I recommend very much.
