The Losers Might Have Edged Out The A-Team

At the tail end of last week, the trailer for The Losers popped up on the internets. Based on the comic series of the same name from Vertigo, The Losers were special forces team that were betrayed by their CIA handler and left for dead. Eager for revenge, they regroup working to undermine the CIA in every possible way.

As a comic property, The Losers have been around forever, dating back to the 1970s where they were a WWII fighting force. They were revamped by Andy Diggle (he of the current Daredevil run) back in 2004, which is where this movie draws its inspiration from.

While there appears to be some overlap with 2010’s other special forces team gone renegade … cough cough .. The A-Team. This movie has three actors that I love: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, and Idris Elba.

Morgan was the best thing in Watchmen and I think he’s going to be the action star that George Clooney never was (see Peacemaker). Saldana … she’s just ridiculously hot. And Idris Elba … STRINGER FUCKING BELL. How can you go wrong?
