The Losers Review
The Losers is a perfect example of the `turn your brain off at the door’ action film. It’s mindless in the extreme, but- as most action fans already know, that`s not necessarily a bad thing. For the most part, THE LOSERS, which is based on a DC graphic novel that I must admit I’m not familiar with, is a fun action ride…read more [Joblo]
“The Losers” opens with some questionable boom-boom in which 25 school kids and a teddy bear are blown to bits in a drug bust that goes wrong. It’s a frame-up that leaves the Losers for dead.

Instead of ruby slippers, which wouldn’t fit the mood as surreal as it is, they get Zoe Saldana’s Aisha, who turns up like a bad penny in a black hat. Finally, some real action and a ticket back home that includes payback for Max…read more [LA Times]
