THE LOSERS Those of you who bother to read my reviews know that I do not watch any adaptations of cartoons, such as Spiderman, Batman, X-Men or whatever. I did not know when i got this DVD that it was in fact an adaptation of a cartoon. My own fault as i totally admit i got the movie based on two facts, being that it starred Zoe Saldana who is really cute, and Idris Elba a talented British actor.
And that's where the good points end.
The film is so full of holes in the plot you could strain cabbage and actually straining cabbage would be preferable. Because it is a cartoon based film there are huge leaps of faith, such as you just have to accept that five guys were smuggled from Bolivia to the USA in coffins, no questions. And so it goes on. Jason Patric is terrible and i mean really terrible as Max, the arch villain. A worse piece of acting I have yet to see in a very long time.
It's Kitch, camp, juvenile and a waste of time, money and celluloid.
Its full of action and guns and explosions which if your 12 years old or stimulated by such banality will have you drooling. If i'd known it was a film adaptation of a cartoon i never would have watched it and frankly this is the perfect example of why i don't watch those types of film.
0/10 I'd rather drink wasps!
