The Losers
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana, Jason Patric
WOW! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
Just needed to get that out of the way… whew.
So, yeah, this is an entertaining shoot-em-up/blow-em-up that’s just plain fun (emphasis on the fff and the uhh and the nnn)! And any movie that can interest my wife enough to send her 10 PM narcolepsy into remission gets a bonus star!
The casting is perfect and the on-screen chemistry between the entire group is wonderfully engagin; but I have to say I did keep seeing too much of a resemblance between Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Brad Garrett - so I was constantly amazed that Jeff wasn’t fat. I don’t know why.
Jason Patric clearly spent too much of his earlier career trying to play the “Face” - his calling is sooo much more for being the excessively over-the-top “Heavy.“ Personally, his performance is what helped this movie work so well!
If you’re in the mood for an action flick, you could certainly do much worse than The Losers. Me? I’m going to ship the disc back to Netflix and pick up a copy for myself!
5/5 stars
