For 8 years, the A-team have been the pride of the U.S military. Completing over 80 successful missions and assignments, there is nothing that they can’t handle. That is until they are framed for the theft of goods of great value, stripped of their ranks, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Now, six months after going to prison, the group escape and reform so that they can clear their names and get a little revenge.
I have never seen an episode of The A-Team so I honestly have no idea what the phenomenon was. I only rented this movie because it had Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper in it and looked like a bit of harmless rollicking fun. I was right.
For 8 years, the A-Team have been the pride of the U. S military. Completing over 80 successful missions and assignments, there is nothing that they can’t handle. That is until they are framed for theft of valuable goods, stripped of their ranks, given dishonourable discharges, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment. Now, six months after being separated and going to different prisons, the team escape and reform so that they can clear their names and get a little revenge.
This is actually the third time that I have hired out this movie and I finally sat down and watched it. I’ve just found myself hard-pressed to watch films recently. A temporary glitch. This film was just a good bit of rollicking, action-packed fun.
It had a decent story that contained some intrigue and mind games, a fitting script that occasionally became quite light-hearted and funny, and very likeable characters. As far as an action film goes, this was nicely balanced. It had the right amount of breathing space between all the fights and explosions and stuff. And the story was rather simple to follow as well, which is always nice.
As I have never seen an episode of the original series, I can’t really say much about the performances because I have no real basis for comparison, but I felt that there was a companionship between the central characters that is crucial to these sorts of films.
Starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Sharlto Copely, and Patrick Wilson, The A-Team was a fun and rollicking movie filled with gunplay, explosions, fire streams, fist to face combat, and reckless driving. It’s definitely worth watching at any rate.
