Andrew and I both really love this movie. It's the perfect movie for you if you love action movies that you have no idea how things are going to happen.
Even though the people in this movie are often sweaty and gross, I don't mind it like I normally do. Maybe because there is a good amount of comedy thrown in with all that grime.
This movie also has a pretty stellar cast. Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper and Jessica Biel! I also really love the guy who plays Murdock. He is just so crazy and endearing in this movie. However, I don't like B.A and Patrick Wilson. For one, I don't like BA's character. He just seems like such a little child in this movie and quite frankly I didn't care about his dilemma with being passive or aggressive. I don't think Mr. T's version of this character was like this. Also, I don't think Wilson is a good villain. He is just like a dumb fratboy as Neeson so aptly describes him. He should stick with singing opera.
For those who don't know the plot of this movie, there are these 4 Army Rangers who have somehow come together despite being way different, and have become the best covert team the United States has ever seen. That is mainly because they are mainly willing to do anything, and Hannibal comes up with some pretty crazy plans. Well, they are framed of stealing a mint plate that counterfeiters use, and killing their favorite general. They get court marshalled and get separated to different prisons. Well of course with the help of the villain, they escape through means of faking a death, leaping out of a bus, being hijacked while tanning, and having a vehicle storm through during movie time. They recover the supposedly dead guy (who was the one who framed them) and the plate, only to have to come up with some more crazy plans to keep it. The best part about this movie, which gives it a really great flow, is that when these huge action sequences and plans are coming together, you are seeing it unfold at the same time that the teammates are learning of the plan. Eventually the Team save the day and win, except for when the government turns on them on the last second. Then they are going to be sent back off to jail until Jessica Biel slips Bradley Cooper the key to escape after a quick lip lock. If only we knew what happened next! Unfortunately this movie didn't have the box office boom that it deserved and so there are no sequels in the making as of yet.
This is another definite must see if you haven't!
