The Losers Movie Review

The Losers movie starts out with a special CIA squad, there sent on a mission to Bolivia, it entails them having to dispatch or kill a serious enemy. Many interesting things happen in a matter of no time when they spot children enter their targeting zones. After they finally save the children, they have those kids board their helicopter as they await for further confirmation on the next location. Unfortunately, a couple of horrible things take place, the children in the helicopter are killed when the aircraft gets targeted down by a missile, it was probably meant to be that way. This special CIA squad tries to get back to the US, so that they can finally live the lives they were so accustomed to and to seek out their revenge on the person who planned this whole terrible ordeal.

The Losers movie is strictly based on the comic book series. It's a comic book series that only released a couple of issues and one I haven't really heard all that much about until I saw the film, I would not doubt reading their comic books either. This movie is an action film that includes a lot of comedic moments and or jokes as well as a lot of absurdity. As a viewer you can't take many of the things that occur in the movie all that seriously and this movie knows this too, it even mocks itself at times.

The leader of The Losers gang is a guy named Clay (played by Jeffery Dean Morgan) he's basically known as the guy that dresses up in suits but doesn't address it with a tie. The second leader in command named Roque (played by Idris Elba) and a little bit of a hot tempered individual. Chris Evans plays a guy named Jensen who's in charge of all of the technical side of things and also brings a little bit of the comic relief aspect of the movie. Every one of the characters in this action flick have a specific and different aura to their characters, they are all rebels but can also be a little bit of a smart-@#$ if you know what I mean. Clay the leader of the pack is by no means an angel because of the temper and trouble he brings through his character, who only wants to do something positive and than you'll have the character who doesn't say much but is the hardcore assassin of the gang.

I certainly thought that this movie would have a lot more action than it did, it did not excite me in anyway as opposed to other movies I've seen. However some of the action sequences were somewhat exciting and did make up for some of the action scenes, in the sense that all of the characters had certain physical traits and how they used them in the movie. Chris Evans did a couple of things in the movie that was a little strange, his character had a lot of action which I didn't really expect at first, although he played the technical geek character. What I liked about The Losers movie is that it doesn't it doesn't in anyway try to do something outrageous like other movies, it's done in a way that I'll entertain those that watch this film.

This movie does have a couple of plot twists and turns that I didn't really like all that much. Well it did make sense, but unfortunately it just didn't do it for me I would've wanted it to have a different outcome. I was against the idea of having the whole dynamic group changed. It really disappointed me in that sense, but I certainly realize the same things happen in comic books as well. There were certain times where music played a strange role in the movie, like when one of Journey's songs were played in a particular scene and it was certainly the most memorable of parts in the movie. I guess at that point in the movie they added that scene to show that this film isn't only an action movie but a film made for those to laugh as well. Although this movie has taken it's fair share of movie bashing by the critics, I did however enjoy this movie. It's certainly a movie that's beyond perfect movie because of the many questionable tactics displayed in the film. Several of the comedic moments weren't done particularly well, the action sequences weren't all that suspenseful, and that the main villain of the movie was particularly strange and not all that much of a good one either. This movie The Losers will not bring big numbers to the box office but I would still recommend this movie to those that like action and or comedy movie's because in it's own way it's a fairly decent film worth watching for the eight bucks it costs to watch it.
