The A-Team

The A-Team based on the same name as the series back in the series. Featuring four veteran soldiers in a team known as Alpha Team a.k.a A-Team, the team consists of Colonel John 'Hannibal' Smith (Liam Neeson), B.A. Baracus (Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson), Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck (Bradley Cooper), and James Murdock (Sharlto Copley). After 8 years passed and 80 missions, the A-Team are again to another action by getting back US Dollar plates, something like that. However, they were framed and they have to go out to reclaim their innonence and clean their names.

I did not watch the original A-Team series, so to me I will not to say that this movie is better or worse than the original series. For me, this movie is actually not bad for an action movie, with of course an unpredictable plot. You know 'bang! bang! bang', got frame, go out clear name, claim innonence, known as a hero or somewhat. That is A-Team with a lot of bang, action and PLAN. The four main casts do play their A-game in this movie along with two great supporting casts, Patrick Wilson and Jessica Biel.

However, the problem with this movie is that some of the actions in this movie is just over-the-top at times especially almost at the end of the movie. Just imagine about five rows and estimated eight foot tall of cargos coming down at you, I guess you be fall flat like a pancake, but the man, B.A. Baracus is able to get out rather than falling flat. Trust me, even Jason Bourne or James Bond will not even get out from that.

But, as an overall, A-Team is one of the best action movies for 2010 with plentiful of action and loud bangs for action flick fans. A-Team has cinematography like the Bourne Ultimatium, action some sort like Taken (which also stars Liam Neeson) and an A-team some sort like the four casts in Zombieland.
