The Losers (2010)

With a cast like Zoe Saldana, Idris Elba and Columbus Short, I can't understand why this movie isn't still being talked about. I happened to be looking for movies Idris Elba was in when I saw it and had never heard of it before last year. Since then I have watched this movie so many times I lost count. Zoe Saldana did an excellent job in her fighting scenes (no extras; she put in work). Columbus Short is already athletic so I expected him to bring the action. I knew Idris Elba for dramatic films but it wasn't until "Luther" that I started seeing him in action flicks, and after that I realized he is a very strong and athletic character, too. The reason I keep talking about action is because so much of this film is full of energetic combative scenes. But my favorite part of the film is none of that. I am always tickled to watch the entire elevator scene with Chris Evans. Cracks me up no matter how many times I see it.

This movie should've gotten more awards and attention.

Fmovies: The Losers delivers a great deal of pleasure. It was witty, funny, interesting and a marvelous watch. This comedy is like a parody of hardcore action films, so don't expect any mind-blowing depth. Just go with the flow. It's fun.

I hadn't any significant expectations for this movie, so the enjoyment was even bigger. At times the plot might be a bit predictable but that doesn't disturb the ride at all. It's got fast pace, entertaining action scenes and it's fun. Fun is the word here. The cast was brilliant, as well. Zoe Saldana was great as always. And for the first time i felt that Chris Evans (Push-junk and Fantasticless 4) did a good job. The villain was a bit weak though. But descent acting carried the movie for the whole time. All you need.

As long as you don't take it seriously, it is brilliant and you won't be disappointed. Shoot 'em up!

Well I don't know much to like about this movie. But at the same time there's nothing to hate here. Not even some stilted dialogue or the watered-down violence. The film moves in an almost self-parodying way, as if it was aware that it was what it was, a slick, glossy, action- packed, and fun thrill ride from start to finish.

The film is based on a comic book, and the story seems to prepare us for the upcoming "The A-Team" adaptation (which I'm looking forward to). It's filled with guns, girls, cars, explosions, fists, legs, knives, motorcycles, in fact almost anything but the kitchen sink. The actors seem to be having fun in their roles as the chemistry between the six leads show, but Jason Patric looks like he's having a terrific time, chewing every scene he's in and giving us what may be the funniest (although sometimes annoying) villain in years.

The film has it's action packed moments and plenty of laugh-out loud moments, but that's about what you can expect from a movie like this. Don't expect anything like "Shutter Island" or "Slumdog Millionaire" and you'll do just fine. Having said that, director Sylvain White keeps the pace tight and frenetic, and you can see some of his camera movements are similar to his previous film "Stomp The Yard", also starring Columbus Short.

So in short it's a time waster, but a not bad one. Sure it may be watered down for teens, but at heart it is what it is, big, loud, goofy, hilarious fun.

Overall rating: A solid 6/10.

The Losers fmovies. This is not an A-list movie and it doesn't have A-list actors. But you know what? I thought it was a lot of fun! Likable good guys and despicable bad guys. A good story line with side line stories and a nice twist here and there. Great stuff.

I'm guessing it was based on a comic book, because they always make great movies. And the comic book flashes kinda made it obvious... But the best part of this movie? Well I've watched some A-list movies and they off the bad guy really poorly. But the offing of the bad guy in The Losers was worthy of appreciation! Once again, great stuff.

I really enjoyed this movie and I reckon if you accept it as a comic book action flick, you'll enjoy it, too. 8+/10

I always check IMDb before i watch a movie. Some of the reviews on this site almost caused me to not watch this movie. I am glad i overlooked the negative commentary. Many people have said that they copy old action movies..... aren't they all copies with different characters.

Anyhow the movie is about a group of U.S. soldiers who are being pursued by some guy named Max in the CIA. Well, i was very confused... Who is this max? Why does he want them dead? This is never explained or i missed it.

Anyhow the team are framed for the murder of 25 children and are fugitives from the U.S. they are given an opportunity by this girl who seems devious right from the beginning.

But to put it short, its worth watching. The characters are original and the guy with the glasses needs to be in more movies. He basically made the movie for me and was comical the whole way threw. His lines seemed a lot less cheesy.

Overall, a good action/comedy. Id give it..... 7 out of 10. It lacks a little bit of excitement.

Though slightly juvenile for an action film, (hence the PG-13 rating) The Losers has wit, and that counts for something. The clichés are all there; the distraught hero, the girl with the gun, the dapper villain eager to get his hands on nuclear weapons, the geeky tech nerd, the bad-guy cops. The Losers frequently plays all this for laughs, it has a great sense of humour without which the film would be epically cheesy. There are some familiar faces in the cast, along with some new ones, and everyone seems to be having a good time, which helps us to have a good time.

If I had to guess, I'd say it'd be Zoe Saldana which the studio values most for selling the product, which is kind of degrading. She may well be on the road to the Typecast city, until James Cameron gets Avatar 2 going. At least she can do her own stunts, something Megan Fox is probably incapable of. The best performance in the movie though is turned in by Jason Patric oddly enough, whose take on the clichéd super villain ready to wreak havoc with the push of a button, is perfect. There is no way anyone could take such a character seriously no why not goof it up a bit. The year is young but this guy is the Col. Hans Landa of 2010. Sometimes, the Losers doesn't work so good. At times it is just a little too unbelievable, especially the interplay between Saldana and Morgan, which is just gratuitous.

So for an early blockbuster, The Losers delivers about what you'd expect. Though there is nothing super special about it, the movie has some tricks up its sleeve which might be worth checking out.
