It's hard to think of a clever opening sometimes. These aren't ever really that long, but they do take some time to think up. I went to the midnight showing of this movie, which was my first one of those. It wasn't packed at all, but then again it was midnight, and this wasn't a massive blockbuster along the lines of 'Harry Potter' or 'Avatar'. But enough jibber-jabber, let's actually talk about the movie, whaddya say?
The A-Team movie was originally a television show back in the day. It centers around four military men: Hannibal (Liam Neeson), Face (Bradley Cooper), B.A. (Quentin 'Rampage' Jackson), and Murdock (Sharlto Copley). These men are the best of the bunch. "They specialize in the ridiculous". The movie begins with them forming this said group together. The movie then skips ahead a few years, and they are all now stationed in Iraq. They hear word from CIA agent who goes by the name Lynch that there are some illegal bills being made and that these guys should stop them. The team then finds out that another branch in their militia is actually in on the whole thing, and when they try to stop them they end up getting framed for this crime, and off they go to jail. Of course, being the brilliant men they are, they escape pretty easily. They are then determined to bring these real criminals justice, all while clearing their name of any wrongdoing. But not everything, or everyone, are what they seem to be.
This movie is the definition of action-packed. It's not just a guys' movie, with people and everything getting mutilated. This is genuine, high-octane fun. The four leading members are all very good, even 'rampage' was pretty decent. If you're lookin for that adrenaline rush type of movie, here it is. Good, solid fun.
Rating: 3 out of 4 stars
