The Losers

 The Losers is the latest screen adaptation of a graphic novel and features a devil-may-care quintet of special ops on a CIA mission in Bolivia who are burned by a rich megalomaniacal industrialist named Max (Jason Patric) and the five have to fake their own deaths to survive long enough to regroup. They’re itching for revenge but stuck in South America with no way to get Stateside until they’re approached by the hot an mysterious Aisha (Zoe Saldana – Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean). Her first encounter with the team leader Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is a furious dust up (that actually looks like sex) where she convinces Clay that she can get him and the guys - Jensen (a hard to recognize Chris Evans), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short) and Cougar (Óscar Jaenada) – back to the USA since she wants Max dead too. During their mission it is discovered that the mysterious Max has an agenda – to cause international chaos using environmentally friendly weapons of mass destruction. Their adventure is undertaken with comic book glee and glib verbal exchanges making The Losers just crazy enough to be a winner – it better be because the back door is left wide open for a sequel.
