A fun movie, plain and simple. The Losers understands that it is an action-comedy, not a deep, philosophy/art film, and does what it does very well. I feel like The Losers pulls off what I've seen a lot of movies try to do and fail.

Very Funny and a great action movie. If you like clever jokes and crazy action this is the movie for you. The cast has great chemistry and although you can see some things coming it doesn't detract form the experience.

It's shot really well, the music is awesome, and it's PERFECTLY cast. Perfect. Anyway, I'd recommend it to anyone just looking for some awesome explosions and and a wealth of attractive menfolk.… Expand

Totally fun action movie. Really straddles the line between over-the-top action and satire. Sure, it's ultimately disposable entertainment-- but who says that there is anything wrong with that?

The other being the widely popular Batman films that came out from 1992-1997(One directed by Tim Burton, two directed by Joel Schumacher.) but since "The Crow" massive commercial and critical success no other independent comic book has stepped up to the plate to fill the shoes "The Crow" left behind. That is until a little know director Sylvain White and his writers Peter Berg James Vanderbilt adapted for the screen an extremely little know comic book published by Vertigo X tentatively called "The Losers ". While this film may seem like another A-Team let, you tell you right now that you have never meet a team quite like "The Losers. Sylvain White's hilarious and audacious comic book adaptation is a work of art, well it is more like a grunge band song mixed with some good old action values, and revenge is a dish best severed cold. This film dish out some seriously cold justice to the baddies with ultra style and flare although films like "The Losers" lost there following at the end of the 90's. director Sylvain White knows this and while he has knowledge that some will not take kindly to a throwback action film, others will embrace it with open arms feeling nostalgic for the days of "FACE/OFF"(1997) and "Die Hard"(1989) and all the other great action films of the 80's and 90's. Some may find "The Losers" well a loser and others will find it to be an extravagant and very well executed action comedy with some serious intellect, it's the kind of film that is just too good to resist and even harder to hate. What I like most about "The Losers" is the care that was taken into telling the story it is quite well crafted and played out on screen, how all the characters seem to bounce jokes and witty dialogue off of each other. It gave the film a sense that these group of actors had worked together many times before and know how each other tick and that to me is something special it gives the film a better more buddy, buddy type feel instead of a stark military action picture type feel. What makes it feel this way is the joke filled script by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt they lay on the jokes, the charm, the cool hip vibe and the intelligence to make this action picture stand out amongst the crowd, while it may not seem like "The Losers" should work, it does. It is an action film I am proud to say that I laughed so hard it hurt and was completely riveted by this film. The well know ensemble cast including Jeffery Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, ZoÃ« Saldana, Chris Evans, Columbus Short, Oscar Jaendada, Holt McCallany and Jason Patric(who this film could have seriously done without.) deliver fine performances in a film that is better than it should be and allot more keen and intelligent than we would have thought. There performances that including Chris Evans, Jeffery Dean Morgan and ZoÃ« Saldana are three that must work so that the others can survive if any of theses three fail than the whole film comes crashing down with the rest of the cast. It is only to them and the quick-witted script that this flawed but extremely worthy film can gain that title, it succeeds on the actor alone. This film is not perfect it has its flaws and has its holes but the holes in this film are relatively minor ones that you do not really notice unless you are looking for them. From an action fans viewpoint this film is everything you could hope for in an action picture, and I know I have said that a few times but for some films it is mostly true and for "The Losers" it is spot on. I will admit that there were some moments where I questioned this films intention and then someone cracked a joke pr something very intriguing happened and I suddenly did not care anymore. It is a throwback essentially, a throwback to the days when films were entertainment and not super intelligent, scientifically accurate like all films must be today or they will rip it up and burn it. "The Losers" doesn't care it's here to entertain and give you some good laughs with your explosions along the way and if your forgiving I can promise you "The Losers" will deliver.… Expand

An entertaining action film with no pretension. Fast-paced and not too bogged down by characters' past problems or overblown romance scenes. Just the right amount of weaponry, explosions and bravado to keep the plot moving. A fun time.

Very entertaining and enjoyable movie ! I wasn't bored at all. There was none-stop action, added with a little bit of humor. I recommend " The Losers" for those who like bad ass actions movies with smart humor and yet corny at some points.

I'm a big Zoe Salanda fan so I loved her in this, but all of the leads did their jobs well. It has a lot going for it so it should please most audiences, but I did think Jason Patric was a poor villain. Overall pretty good, nothing special though.… Expand

One of the most criminally underrated movies of all time. The characters may be a bit static but it works for this type of movie, I think and they also got some huge names (Idris Elba, Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

The Losers is a fun movie, and even with the toned down nature of the adaptation, doesn't stray too far from the comic source material. It's an action movie that's not ALL EXPLOSIONS, ALL THE TIME! and it's funny without trying too hard, and it's very well acted at that. Is it horrible? Not at all. Is it Iron Man perfect-10 quality? Not really. Is it a fun weekend movie that you won't feel like you wasted $10 on? Most definately. I recommend it. On a side note, they're re-releasing double volumes of The Losers collected. If you're looking for something very dark, very violent, and very political, pick it up. It's one of my favorite series.… Expand
