THE LOSERS (B)

Starring: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba and Jason Patric

Story: An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, The Losers centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team--Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar--find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they're joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war. (Warner Bros. Pictures)

Rated: PG-13 for sequences of intense action and violence, a scene of sensuality and language

Bottom Line: An A-TEAM wannabe meets MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE mish-mash of over-the-top action, ludicrous plot points, eye-rolling mayhem...and solidly entertaining character work by all the actors involved! For a mind-numbing yet enjoyable, non-groundbreaking, little shoot ‘em up with B-level actors doing an A-level job – THE LOSERS is a winner.
