Synopsis

After being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination... An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, The Losers centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team--Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar--find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they're joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.

Critics' reviews

"The movie gets the job done, and the actors show a lot of confidence in occupying that tricky middle ground between controlled satire and comic overkill. It's fun. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Remember 'The Dirty Dozen'? Well, apparently Hollywood does (...) The manufacturer’s date might be relatively recent, but almost all the ideas and moves are definitely older than the likable cast members"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"It's strange what a bad action movie takes seriously and doesn't take seriously. Take, for example, 'The Losers,' in which cliches are sacred and human life of no value"

Mick LaSalle: SFgate
"An efficient time-killer."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"'The Losers has a few funny scenes, but a lot more foolish ones (...) The movie is busy, noisy and fiery, and the clichéd slo-mo is set on overkill"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Characters are two-dimensional, but the actors all play them with vigor (...) For all the film's speed, though, it never seems to get anywhere."

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"A busy, unsatisfying comic thriller, poorly acted by a grab bag of new faces and franchise movie refugees, and set to a hard-rock soundtrack."

Dan Kois: Village Voice
