The A-Team [2010]

Plot: Four American soldiers who are in Iraq are sent on a mission to recover plates for printing 100 dollar bills that were used to print a billion dollars. After doing the job and returning to the base their commanding officer is killed in an explosion and the plates are stolen by another operative. They would be court martialed and sent to different prisons. 6 months later, the leader, Hannibal Smith is visited by a CIA spook who tells him he knows where the man who took the plates is and wants him and his men to recover it. So he helps him escape and he breaks out the others and they go after the plates. But after doing it, they discover that the spook might not be ok. And a military intelligence officer who was involved with one of them is pursuing them.

This movie is an action packed film with a bunch familiar faces to the action film world such as Liam Nelson (Colonel Hannibal Smith), Bradley Cooper (Lt. 'Faceman' Peck), Jessica Biel (Charissa Sosa),Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson (B.A. Baracus) & Sharlto Copley (Captain H.M. Murdock). With this kind of line up how can you not like the movie and the director does not skip in script or film quality because of this outstanding case which is the best part of the movie.

The acting is on point on almost every scene and the background music is superb. Action should be this movies middle name as you barley go into a scene without seeing some kind of action going on which is the best part of the movie. With all the serious parts in the movie I love how the director incorporated a lot of jokes and funny scenes in the movie to make it more enjoyable for the viewer. 

What surprised me the most was Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson as B.A. Baracus, his acting was on point even though his and MMA fighter he did very well in this film and we will probably be seeing him in many more movies to come. Liam Nelson as usual takes the lead role or head of team and does an amazing job in his role as usual. Jessica Biel and Bradley Cooper have romance in the movie which both shine in and Bradley Cooper also does an exceptional job in his action scenes and Sharlto Copley also plays a great supporting role.

Overall I would suggest this movie to anyone that loves action movies and or to an occasional action movie watcher as its not all serious action.

Rate - 8.5/10
