However, this time I had no idea! This is my official review of The Losers. Like I mentioned, The Losers is based off of a DC Vertigo comic that involves Special Forces agents getting betrayed by their handler, therefore causing them to start their own personal war against the CIA. I felt the movie really captured this well. The movie itself presents a classic element of the team dynamic (where each character has there own relational feel) that is more often then not forgotten by the film writers of today. The film is abundant with adrenaline fueled action sequences, laugh out loud comedic moments, very quotable lines, and Journey (and I ain't talking about no double vision). What's not to like about any of that? However, the beginning felt a little presumptuous in the fact that the writers expected you to have a pre-existant understanding of the characters. Yet, my minuscule distastefulness was lost in the pure fun of this film. Visually stimulating, this is one of those films that you can take your teenager to go see and it will feel like a bad-ass rated R action flick (pssst...it's only PG-13). My expectations were low and they were blown out of the water! I give this film 5 telekinetic pistols out of 5! -Tony Smith The Revolution Review, 2010
