Title: The Losers (2010)Starring: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans
Directed By: Sylvain White
This may seem like a cheap capitalization on a slightly obscure comic property just to make money. It isn't. It's more similar to Kick-Ass in that it's a decent adaptation of a comic, while still feeling fun and breezy and summer-movie-y.
This isn't just an origin of Andy Diggle's The Losers either, like so many other comic book movies yearning for a franchise. This is more of a condensed retelling of the 32-issue series as a whole, and the movie benefits from that. This should be a standalone summer movie.
The Losers isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, it's trying to be a fun action movie. I'm glad to say it succeeds. Summer 2010 is fulled with comic adaptations and action movies alike. While this one will likely be overlooked by a lot of people, I'm glad I gave it a chance. I ended up really enjoying it. Recommended.
Score: 7.5/10
