Movie Review : The A-Team



Directed by Joe Carnahan.
Starring: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

The A-team is a typical Action movie from Hollywood which churns similar movies by the dozen every year. Liam Neeson brings some solidity to the movie and Jackson brings in the X-Factor.
The plot line is simple, A bunch of army guys, team headed by Neeson, are set up during an assignment of acquiring currency plates, in Iraq. The team is arrested, discharged of duty and jailed. Now, they have to get out of the jai

l and clear their names.

The action set pieces are entertaining and require full attention. The actors all seem to enjoy it so much that it contagiously spreads to the viewers as well and you will have fun watching the movie too.
It doesn’t have much recall value. But I would consider it better than the much hyped “expendables” which had too much dark scenes to find out what’s going on.

Jessica biel had nothing much to do, other than look hot. Could’ve been done by any other numerous starlets Hollywood has.

Photography is superb and background music is passable. Editing is too tight. Could’ve relaxed a bit.
All in all, its a mindless fun film. Its for the die-hard action movie lovers You can watch it once.

Rating : **1/2
