Two words for you ‘Crazy Action’. This film had me gripped from the get go, an emotional beginning, an energetically funny middle and a little unanswered but witty end. This is my no means an amazing best ever kind of film but it is a must see for action fans, although it may seem like it is a guy’s film I believe girls will enjoy it too, I did. It was not just same old action film, but more action with humour like the older film/tv programmes (A Team being a good example) or not so old ‘Die Hard’. I love action film but hate action for the sake of action. While this film did leave a lot of WHAT??? plot holes it did not take away from the enjoyment of the film, and most of all did I mention ‘action with humour’, it was so funny Jensen (Chris Evans) was on top form “She’s got a gun…and it’s pointed at my dick.”, may not mean much now but watch the film and you will be laughing. Oh yes, of course Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Clay) was all rugged and damaged, just how I like my lead action man to be.
The Losers is about 5 elite US special forces (Jeffery Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Óscar Jaenada) who are sent on a mission to the Bolivian jungle, but end up being framed for the death of a helicopter of children and presumed dead. They set out to get their lives back and area approached by a mysterious woman Aisha (Zoe Saldana) to get Max (Jason Patric) the man the framed them.
This film is fast paced, it gives you no time to settle, the humour is scattered around so it blends in well not just burst of funny. There are a few predictable parts, but when is there an action film that wasnt predictable, and some missing plot lines that will leave you asking questions, but in my opinion they are not that bad that it takes complete focus from the film or leaves the film completely confusing, you can still follow it.
For action fans this is a must see, for sit back action viewers, you will enjoy this one, and for those that have a loose end as to what to do in an evening, there are worse films you can watch so give this one a go.
