The A-Team (2010)

One of my favorites shows as a kid, along with The Dukes of Hazzard, and Knight Rider, was The A-Team. 


I loved the opening voiceover: "Ten years ago, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team."


This movie is about the events that led up to the team being framed, sent to prison, and their escape.


The cast is spot-on. Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper as Face, Sharlto Copley as Murdock, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as B.A. Baracus.  Add to that, Patrick Wilson as a sleazy CIA operative Lynch, Jessica Beil as DCIS Captain Sosa, and Gerald McRainey as General Morrison. Everyone does a great job, especially Copley as Murdock. He steals every scene he's in, and has some of the most memorable lines in the film. 


The A-Team ultimately, is a popcorn movie. The plot isn't really important. There's explosion, gunfire, chases, and innovative plans, that only they could come up with. It's fun. Just don't take it too serious. You'll have a good time.


Rated PG13, Runtime 117mns
