Film : The Losers
Format: Blu-Ray
Run time (approx): 93 mins (Approx)
My Rating (out of 10): 7.5
Genre: Action/Adventure/Crime
**Contains Spoilers**
Film Highlight: Learning that Chris Evans had the ability to shoot and kill people with the old childhood trick of turning your hands into guns.
The film is about betrayal and revenge (No not Rambo style this film is a 12A FFS). A elite special forces crew is sent to complete a search and destroy mission in Bolivia but discover that they have become the target of a vicious double cross by a man named Max (very high up in the world). They manage to escape death and are presumed dead , now they must listen to a vicious operative to get revenge.
The Losers star Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen), Chris Evans (Fantastic four), Idris Elba (The Wire) and Zoe saldana (Avatar). Whilst we are on the subject of cast , I just want to point out the uncanny resemblance of Zoe Saldana and her character in Avatar (Neytiri) , you would recognize her straight away. Jeffrey Morgan is a great actor and performed his role right down to a Tee, Chris Evans (NOT the ridiculously annoying radio 2 presenter) contributed highly to the comedy aspect in this film and Idris Elba played the "BBG (big black guy)".
This film isn't brilliant but it is VERY entertaining, if you are expecting a brutal action flick with a hard plot then this isn't your film but if you just want some laughs,entertainment and cheesy cliches then its for you. The whole thing is very predictable from start to end (you know when the hero will come to save the day), the "bad guy/villain" is too camp and hilarious to be evil and some of the moments in the film just couldn't happen in real life (to a stage where you start to cringe). Its based on the comic book novel and the style of the film doesn't stray away from that fact for example , slow motion action and live action style credits. This is a film you probably wouldn't remember after watching it but it still contains enough entertainment and action to be classed as an action flick (final sequence heats up the movie).
I watched this on Blu-Ray and the explosive action, vast scenery of the Bolivian jungle and Jensen's pink t-shirt are of stunning picture quality. Definitely worth a watch in Blu-Ray.
At the end of the day...
-An entertaining action flick which could be watched with the "lads" if the footy isn't on.
-Full of laughs and cheesy cliche lines
-Enough action but not your 'Rambo' or 'Shooter'
-Worth a watch
