The Losers

Action
2.5 stars
Total guy flick that is left wide open for a sequel. A group of commandos go rogue after defying corrupt orders and learning they were meant to be killed off. Stars include Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Zoe Saldana (Star Trek and Avatar), and Idris Elba (Obsessed) among others. What’s with the “macho strut” they do in all the guy action movies? You know, when all the tough guys are ready for battle, so they all walk shoulder to shoulder, always in slow motion, towards the camera? From now on, I’m gonna call it the “macho strut” and they make full use of it in this flick. Some of the violence is almost comical; fitting, since this movie is inspired from a comic book series. Anyway, guys who love seeing things get blown up, with extra doses of sweat sprayed on the actors, and of course a vampy chick added to the mix, should like this film.
