Overview

A man who loves when a plan comes together, Col. Hannibal Smith leads a close-knit team of elite operatives and Iraq War veterans. Framed for a crime they didn’t commit, Smith and his men, Capt. H.M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock , Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus, and Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, break out and go rogue, using their special talents to clear their names and find the perpetrator. Hot on their trail is Capt. Charissa Sosa, who was once involved with a member of Smith’s team and has sworn to capture them, no matter what it takes.

Viewing Notes

Of the three major action films in 2010, I found the A-Team to be one of the better two (I prefer The Losers and this to Expendables). It’s out of control absurd, with less than plausible situations but since it’s consistently out of it’s goddamn mind, the movie delivers the punches. Aided by performances from the entire team, and only hindered by a wooden Jessica Biel, A-Team has way more going for it than not.

The standout performance, by far, is Sharlto Copley’s Murdoch who doesn’t say one thing that isn’t hilarious. I cannot wait to see what else he can do after this and District 9.
