Aptly Titled



THE LOSERS-2010-You know if you make a movie and call it The Losers it better be good otherwise people will be making stupid cracks like "Well at least it lives up to it's name" or "the real losers are the audience".

Unfortunately this derivative action nonsense lives up to those lines and more.

A US Special Forces group thought to be killed in the Bolivian Jungle hides out somewhere plotting revenge against a guy named Max (Jason Patric) who set them up. But of course the evil empire of The United States is also to blame. The idiotic acting and routine direction don't help things in this cliché ridden story.

Jeffery Dean Morgan, Zoe Saladana (Uhura in the new STAR TREK), Chris Evans (much better in CAPTAIN AMERICA) star. It's based on a comic from DC's Vertigo line. Director Sylvain White had made STOMP THE YARD.

Thanks for reading!

PS-I didn't look it up yet but I think DC once published an Army comic called THE LOSERS!
