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.

I was really intrigued and interested in this film since the first time I watched the trailer. Not just because of all the good action it seemed to offer, but the good sense of humor.
Well, after having the chance to watch the film, now I can certainly say that I was pleased to be right. The film not just brings some cool action scenes, but offers also lots and lots of cool, fresh and funny scenes, with a great sense of humor.
The Losers is about a especial and secret military team that has been sent to Bolivia to capture/kill a drug lord living in the middle of the jungle. When they're ready to run the special operation, they find out that these drug dealers have captured a bunch of kids and were using them as a human shield in their premises. When they report that to their command center and try to abort the air strike to the drug facilities, they find that they're not being listened and the command center decides to continue with their decisions.
The team takes the lead and save the kids, kill the drug dealer and leave the premises before it is hit by the air strike. When they're evacuated in a helicopter, they are told that they won't be able to leave the area because they weren't expecting to take the kids in the helicopter. They offer to send the kids on the helicopter and they would get back on their own means. As soon as the helicopter lifts up, it is hit by a new air strike. This strike was meant for them, since everyone died on that helicopter. This attack was planned by an important business man related with weapons and military, called Max.
They stay in Bolivia, since they were supossed to be dead and they had no money or a plan to return back home. There in Bolivia, they met Aisha, Max. They accept the plan offered and return to the U.S.
Once they're back, they plan a precise attack to catch Max, but instead of getting him, they get an important posession from Max. This posession will force them to negociate and find other ways to either get Max and kill him, or return the posession and die.
Even though, it is a simple and easy plot to follow, there's a tricky situation that I didn't see coming at all! That made it really interesting at the last part of the film.
The cast was great, simply great. The script was hilarious! There were some hilarious lines that made us laugh really loud at the theater. I think it really helped to enjoy so much the film.
As said, it is not a strong plot, but the cast and script made it so worth to watch. Great direction! I really enjoyed it. I'm giving the film a 3/5, even though, I'd give it a 4/5 for the great script and funny lines said on this film.
Totally recommended!
What did I like from this movie?
1. The cast was really, really good!
2. Really funny lines. I laught so hard when Chris Evans is changing on the elevator and says... "You're linking the angle of the dangle?" and when Max is talking with the buyers and there's this short guy and he says... "Are you standing on a hole?" Hilarious!
3. I really enjoyed the action scenes, but one special scene was the one at the office, when Chris Evans point with his fingers like he was holding guns and the sniper shots the guards.
4. What's the deal with all the different color/logo t-shirts used by Evans?... Some of them were really funny!
What did I dislike from this movie?
1. I really enjoyed it. I think the only thing I didn't like was the scene when they're supossed to be at a cemetery in Bolivia and there's a Puerto Rican flag on the roof of one of the houses! I even doubt for a second, thinking it was a Cuban or PR flag.
I would rate this movie with a 3/5
