The Losers

Okay so The Losers is your stereotypical action movie.  Complete with your group of friends, betrayed by the bad guy and left for dead, who need to clear their names and get revenge.  Now, don't get me wrong... THAT is not a bad thing.  :-)   I don't know about you but there is sometimes when the tried, true, and familiar are just what the doctor ordered.  There is something comforting about watching a familiar plot line with just a small difference or take.  Some may not agree but that's me.   So for me the like-ability was pretty high for this one.   The acting was also great...  Zoe Saldana once again is fantastic and shows that she can role with the punches, so to speak.  You can tell she is having a BLAST acting against the big boys in this action flick.   The action sequences and cinematography are also very good.   Like I alluded to earlier... where the movie fails a bit is in the story/plot.   Which is not very original.  It is, what it is though.  I would say that unless you are bored and want a night out... you could wait for this to come out on DVD.   If you want to get out though.. and enjoy some mindless entertainment then The Losers is the movie to see this weekend.  (4.0/6.0)
