The Winners!

Movie of the day today was The Losers, a movie about a renegade team of soldiers (Kind of like Bad Company). It has my second favorite genre, an action/comedy hybrid that lets the story get told without over thinking it or stretching out the action scenes to fill space, which I feel would have been boring. Lot's of stuff going on at times and I really kind of lost the plot half way through and couldn't tell who was good and who was bad. If they toned down the amount of times people double-crossed each other then I think it would be easier to understand and mayhap attract a wider audience. Besides this the movie was actually really good. I loved the batman style gadgets they use, grappling guns and the likes.
The characters weren't relate able in the slightest, but that's what made them so cool! 'Cougar' of course being all mysterious makes him the most interesting character. In terms of the actors I feel that they were well picked and suited the roles, hardened men that actually look like they might have been in the army. Unlike Chris Hemsworth, who I hear is playing Thor in the upcoming Marvel production, being released next year.
I feel this review is getting off track, 9/10 in all because pretty explosions and sniper rifles being used professionally is entertaining.
