The Losers - 2010


After being betrayed and with an attempt on their lives, members of a CIA black ops team seek out those who targeted them for assassination. Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Columbus Short, Oscar Jaenada and Idris Elba.

Oh, Idris Elba, after your powerful performance in The Wire that made you a man in demand and left us devoted fans, what were you thinking when you read this script? Did you not look at it and think, 'A van. A mature, smartly dressed, smooth-talking leader. An out-spoken black guy. a goofy, white guy. A good-looking, clever guy...mm, this reminds me of something.' Because you sure as hell should have. This badly written, badly cast A-Team wannabe movie that was loosely based on a comic book, cost £25 million to make and made less than $24 million at the box office. A turkey with all its trimmings. Idris Elba - you deserve better than this. A waste of a Saturday night.

1 elephant (and that's only because Idris Elba is in it)
