In 2010 a crack commando unit was framed by the CIA for a crime they didn't commit. These men escaped certain death to the Bolivian underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find them - maybe you can hire: The Losers.
That sums up the movie right there. You know how often you'll have a movie season that has several movies with the same theme? "Antz" and "A Bug's Life" came out close together, "Armageddon" and "Deep Impact" came out in the same summer, things like that. This summer we have "The Losers" and "The A-Team" coming out at roughly the same time. Both are movies about a group of highly skilled military personnel who get setup to take the fall. Both are filled with wise cracking action heroes. I think "The Losers" is probably more funny than the "A-Team" will be.
Besides getting revenge on the guy who tried to kill them, The Losers have to stop him from releasing some new form of bomb that can wipe out islands without radiation or other pollution. His bad idea being to stir up some terrorist threat so that the civilized world will end the terrorists once and for all.
I'm glad I saw it and I do recommend it. I probably won't get it on DVD.
