Based on Andy Diggle and Jock's thirty-two issue series for Vertigo which was also entitled The Losers. A team of soldiers who were betrayed by "Codename Max" and sentenced to their death. They survive but are pronounced dead and with nothing left to lose seek their revenge.
There is no story at all here to get in the way of the plot. Seriously. The A-Team is in trouble, because the Losers reminded me why I liked that show. There is so much testosterone in this movie I watched the women exiting the theater scratching their balls. I can't say this is the perfect guy movie, even with th pure sexiness of Zoe Saldana, there was just not enough ( Read that as none ) female nakedness to be the "perfect guy movie" What you do get is a lot of guns, and a lot of explosions set off to a lot of good and bad jokes. This is pure entertainment. Like the Replacements, I can see myself watching this movie a lot. I loved it. Jeffery Dean Morgan is now "The go to Comic Book Guy" after this and a very memorable turn in The Watchmen. Okay, with an honerable mention to Chris Evans, who was pretty good as Johnny Storm, plays a nerd who has trouble speaking with women. There is also a guy here who looks like they made Justin Long up to look hispanic. That is neither here nor there. See this one.

The Premise: A band of close-knit soldiers are declared dead when a strategic military strike in Bolivia turns into a traitorous massacre. In reality, they are very much alive, betrayed, and know only the name of the man who betrayed them - Max. When they are approached by a mysterious woman named Ais...
After a deadly betrayal by a mysterious, “voice” that calls himself Max, five close-knit CIA operatives are forced to disappear, fall off the grid, and live defeated, non-existent lives. Getting back at Max is essential what The Losers is all about. Clay, the leader of the group, stages a revenge plot against Max, with the joint help of Aisha, a deadly woman who seeks revenge for her own personal reasons. Here, in 2010, we’re seeing a spiking re-emergence of these team-based buddy films, an...
