Review of The A-Team (2010) by Charles P — 01 Feb 2012

Yes, I know what your thinking. Not another movie based on a television series. First there was the glorious Brady Bunch movies, then SNL came out with movies based on their characters (not including Waynes World and MacGruber because those are good.), and last but not least Sex and the City. But trust me when I say that the A-Team is badasstastic.

Based on the hit series from the 80's, The A-Team follows a group of Army Rangers. You have Hannibal (Liam Neeson) who is the ring leader, Face (Bradley Cooper), the wise cracking second in command , BA (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson) the muscle with the cheesy one liners, and Murdock (Sharlto Copley) the insane pilot. After being set up, the A-Team escapes from prison to find out why they were set up, stop who set them up, and clear their names.

Everyone did a great job in the movie. I was really surprised to see Patrick Wilson play a villian and pull it off. Sharlto Copley was extremely funny. Bradley Cooper was born to play the role of Face. Rampage did a great job and did the part right. And Liam Neeson......... it's Liam Neeson, no need for explanation. The movie has big laughs, some romance, and awesome action sequences. By far the best action movie of the summer so far.
