REVIEW: THE LOSERS


Warner Bros.' The Losers is what it is.  Is it a great epic film?  No.  Is it carefree entertainment dead-aimed at a primarily male audience?  Yes.  The action-comedy based on the DC and Vertigo comic of the same title follows the story of five members of the United States Special Forces on a mission in Bolivia.  They wind up being betrayed at the hands of a powerful man known as Max (Jason Patric) and narrowly escape death after rescuing 25 innocent children from criminal Fadhil (Peter Francis James), having them board a plane to safety.  They realize only moments later that they, led by Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), were in fact the intended targets of the hit which destroyed that same plane.  The team of five are then declared dead back home in the United States, but meanwhile they are still in Bolivia plotting their revenge plan against Max which brings them back to the United States.

Appearing out of nowhere is sexy Aisha (Zoë Saldana) whom Clay clearly has an attraction to, but all is not well as he soon realizes that this mysterious girl is indeed dangerous after a vicious yet sexily choreographed fight sequence with her.  He learns that she also holds key information that might aid him in his revenge plot.  Roque (Idris Elba) is distrusting of Aisha who joins the team of five and this dissolves the bond among them, particularly with Clay. 

Meanwhile, we learn that Max is looking to acquire high-tech weapons of mass destruction from India, thinking that he has successfully assassinated the team of five.  He learns though that this isn't the case and pulls out all the stops with his money and power to stop them in their tracks, but the question is whether or not the team will in effect self-destruct with all their internal conflict.
