The Losers (2010) Movie Review

The Losers is a 2010 movie based on a Vertigo comic series of the same title about a team of elite government unit sent on a special mission to Bolivia and later double crossed by some diabolical mastermind, only known as Max was later double crossed. The plot is a very common action movie cliche where the main protagonists gets back at the people who do them wrong which either ends up in a happy or tragic conclusion. So what does The Losers have that other action movies don't? Read the rest of the review to find out, don't worry Pinoy Movie Blogger is spoiler free.

The Losers Movie Review
Pinoy Movie Blogger Reviews

The Losers 2010 movie is is based on a Vertigo comic book series, The Losers. Highly acclaimed Vertigo (DC Comics), known for its mature, controversial, violent, and graphic published stories, expect these said elements and so much more on The Losers.

One of the best factor that made The Losers a winner is the perfectly blended of action, comedy, and a very few yet warm family moments. With six main protagonists, one would probably ask if is there would be enough movie time to give justice to each of the characters in the film. Well, the answer is an astounding Yes! The Losers presented the main characters to its audience as these already established team of elite government soldiers, with no much drama on telling how and why did they become what they are. This made the movie give more time to breathe life to each of the comics adapted characters, show their relationship, camaraderie, and respect towards each other.

The Losers shot in many locations around the world and presented it in a very unique comic-ish style. Chris Evans performance in this movie is good, from being a cool human torch into this witty and very skillful tech extraordinaire, Jake Jensen. You will also find Max, the villain in this film pretty entertaining as a villain, a brand of acting which reminded me of Heath Ledger as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

The Losers could be considered a successful action comedy film of 2010. There are a lot of scenes where you will just crack up laughing at the circumstantial humor and jokes that the movie throws at you. I won't tell you what these scenes are to preserve the value of humor until you see it yourself. With almost all the recent and upcoming movies jumping on the 3D bandwagon, The Losers sticked to the original and proven classic big screen presentation. Though it would be better to see those cool explosions, and slow motion gun fights in 3D. Well maybe in a sequel, perhaps? (whoopsie!)

PMB Recommendation
The Verdict

The Losers is an entertaining action film which I recommended for everyone to see on the big screen. You will find yourself laughing, scratching your head, laughing again, moving on the edge of your seat with its brand of action, laughing again, feeling nostalgia, and making you realize that at the end of the day, your family is still the best place to go home into.
