Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

The movie gets the job done, and the actors show a lot of confidence in occupying that tricky middle ground between controlled satire and comic overkill. It's fun. Read full review

James Berardinelli

Still, for those who feel that too few movies these days offer the pure bliss of a testosterone overload, The Losers provides an antidote. Read full review

Gene Seymour

Don't ask for much, and your expectations will be met. Why invest anything as extraneous or irrelevant as "thought" into such a transaction? Read full review

Liam Lacey

Providing expectations are kept low, there’s some fun to be had in the elaborately preposterous action set-pieces, and especially Jason Patric’s campy performance as the movie’s villain. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

The first dumb-fun action movie of the summer season has arrived early with The Losers, a loud, loving homage to guns and testosterone based on a series of comic books about a renegade band of CIA operatives. How dumb is it? You might actually kill a few million brain cells just watching it. Read full review

Joe Williams

Whether you're betting on action or laughs, this is a lose-lose scenario. Read full review

Kyle Smith

This movie -- G.I. Joke, The D-Team -- tries to do so little, and yet falls so short. A clue comes when the girl asks Clay, "How's your steak?" and he replies, "Meaty." Simple enough to achieve in theory, but this would-be treat for cinematic carnivores is a sawdust sandwich. Read full review

An entertaining action film with no pretension. Fast-paced and not too bogged down by characters' past problems or overblown romance scenes. Just the right amount of weaponry, explosions and bravado to keep the plot moving. A fun time.

I thought movie had its moments, but then agian over all this movie is not the greatest. at times i wanted to go to sleep it was so boring, and the only really good thing about it was Zoe Saldana and thats about it.

There is nothing wrong with the premise of the film, despite lacking any semblance of originality.

But by trying to condense so many ideas into a summer blockbuster length movie it feels rushed and disjointed. The characters are all one-dimensional and the plot doesn't even attempt to resolve itself, which is obviously to pave the way for a sequel. Nobody is expecting much in the way of authenticity with this sort of film but you want to actually feel some attachment to the main protagonists. For a film that emulates the A Team and James Bond it pales in comparison. It is the production that really lets this film down, along with the ham-handed acting of Jason Patric as the over-the-top villain. This is a disappointing blemish on the careers of some very capable actors.… Expand
