It’s funny how a movie called The Losers could be such a winner. It’s based on a DC comic book, and it acts like one too. So if you expect something more intelligent, go elsewhere.
There are these five military guys: Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch, and Cougar. They’re on a top-secret military mission in Bolivia, and then it goes wrong. As in “get betrayed by their top-brass wrong.”
Then there’s Aisha (Zoe Saldana); she’s been seeking the evil mysterious warmonger Max (Jason Patric). She knows that Max set the Losers up for their fall. So, she decides to recruit them for a good ol’ revenge mission.
Unlike Kick-Ass, which came out the prior week, The Losers doesn’t get jarringly dark. Instead, it’s just good explosions and fun. It’s an ideal that the film never loses sight of.
As for the actors, they are great in their roles. The best notice goes to Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the effectively charismatic Clay, and Chris Evans as the funny Jensen. Actually, out of the main cast, they are at their best when they’re working together.
This is one of those movies that ask its audience to hold on to its suspension of disbelief. Tightly hold on to it, I might add. If you can do it, then this romp’ll make a great preparatory summer blockbuster.
