A Loser
In contrast to what
many others have felt towards 'The Losers', it didn't quite work for me.
Yes, clichés are expected in action movies but I expect at least some
entertainment and some kind of refreshment, either in the form of action
sequences, story or humour. At best, 'The Losers' is your average
action flick. Aside from being far from memorable, there is nothing that
particularly stands out. Even the dialogue is clichéd and the humour
fails to work. The actors are stuck with typical action roles. For
example. J.D. Morgan is the stereotypical leader, Zoe Saldana the
kickass action heroine who will at some point turn against the group and
who didn't know that one of the five was a 'double agent'? I must give
Saldana some credits for doing her own stunts no matter how skinny she
is. Jason Patric's portrayal of Max has got to be one of the worst
performances in a villainous roles. I must add that the final sequences
are marginally better than the rest of the movie. Overall, 'The Losers'
has nothing new to offer and it failed to keep me entertained for its
duration.
