Will I watch it again? Mabye.

It feels like THE A-TEAM (2010) but it's a better film.  THE A-TEAM was too over the top and the ending was hilariously bad.  THE LOSERS straddles that line of comedy and serious action.  Sometimes it's over the top but it's not so far out that it loses you.  For the most part it's a nice balance and it's funny.  You've also got a great group of characters played by some great names and faces. And the work well together.  Jason Patrick makes a great, cold villain. The dialogue from some of these cats is hilarious and the action special effects are great.  They know how to blow shit up in this one.  I really enjoyed it but it also felt like one watch could be enough. It's a shame we'll probably never see any more adventures with these kids as their fame and salaries have increased a bit since which is a shame.  I wouldn't mind spending some more time with these guys (and gal). The only extra on the DVD is a fluff piece (5-6 minutes) on Zoe Saldona playing the only female role in the picture.  The Blu-ray has more.
