The Losers

Finally a movie with a PERFECT name! Wow is this one a loser.

Disclaimer - if you're a male between possibly 9 and 12, or a stoner dude with less than 5 brain cells left, you may think this one is COOOOL.

It's made from a comic, and that's a shame because many of my favorite movies ever are made from comics. This one just seems like a real bad comic. One dimensional characters and something blowing up every 10 seconds. It's also like a string of really poorly shot music videos, that use bad music. In between those there are a few lines of dialogue that try REALLY HARD to be funny and stylish and then back to things blowing up.

It was truly boring. Midway through we realized we couldn't care less what happened, would gladly walk out without giving it another thought, and if it were on tv (where it belonged... about 15 years ago) we would change the channel. Every cliche in the book is in this - the action is as old as it gets.

We were so disappointed, mainly because of Idris Elba being one of the stars - he starred in 'The Wire', HBO's runaway hit and amazing show. This man was amazing in that role but this one..... not so much. He did the best he could with a big pile of hot mess.

I'm holding my finger and thumb up in the position of an 'L' against my forehead right now. Yep, LOSERS!

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place - still running smoothly - I saw Super Manager Shane and got some good popcorn so it wasn't a total waste! Too bad all the movies can't be good ones. ;) This one gets a '2'.
