Cinewise Character Deathmatch - The Losers vs. The A-Team

They were military badasses set up or left for dead. They were bent on proving their innocence and getting their revenge. They crack jokes and but heads, but still no how to kick ass as a team. They feel an obligation to help those in needs, and to destroy evil men. And they do that latter part amongst big explosions and rocket launching bad-asses at The Port of Los Angeles.


The Losers. The A-Team. Two movies of the same blood. The A-Team is the better flick. But if this were a street fight or, say, a Cinewise Character Deathmatch, which team would you bet on?

*****BEWARE SPOILERS*****

The A-Team (2010)

Like the best of the brainless summer popcorn flicks, The A-Team is really smart about being dumb. It’s the kinda film where director (and co-writer) Joe Carnahan can place his heroes in a tank parachuting away from an exploding airplane, allow them to use it to fend off attacking military drones, and then give them the tools to “fly” it to a safe, comic landing. It’s as implausibly absurd as anything you’ll ever see, and yet it plays as consistent, undeniable, care-free blockbuster fun.
