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 Losers (2010)

The Losers is a really, really stupid movie. This isn’t much of a problem when it’s fun. And sometimes, The Losers is fun. But generally it’s a tonally/logically/cinematically challenged mess.

Like recent fanboy flick Kick-Ass, The Losers is a comic book adaptation that mixes dark violence with skewered comedic quips. In the first ten minutes a helicopter of recently rescued children gets blown out of the sky, our hero (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) drowns his sorrows in Bolivian cock fights, then beats the crap out of a woman in a spicy hotel room brawl (to be fair, she gives as good as she gets). Shortly thereafter, the bad guy shoots his designated “hot assistant” in the face for allowing the wind to briefly blow away the umbrella shielding him from the sun.

This movie is rated PG-13. Are we having fun yet?
