Director Joe Carnahan resurrects the popular 1980s-era action series with this explosive reboot following the adventures of four Iraq War veterans who begin a second career as mercenaries for hire. Co... read more read more...l. John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Quinton "Rampage" Jackson), and H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock (Sharlto Copley) are a group of former Special Forces operatives who have been fighting the good fight for eight years when they're sentenced to military prison for a crime they didn't commit. Breaking out with relative ease, they embark on a treacherous quest to clear their names while being hunted across the globe by Charissa Sosa (Jessica Biel), a high-ranking military officer and one of Face's many former lovers. Meanwhile, mysterious CIA operative Lynch (Patrick Wilson) offers tips that help point the federal fugitives in the right direction, which seems to lead straight to former military contractor Pike (Brian Bloom), who may have been responsible for setting them up in the first place. Just when it seems that the A-Team has all the evidence needed to prove their innocence, however, they discover that their latest mission is just getting started. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This was a lot of fun. The actors they chose to do the different parts were actually very well casted. The ridiculous over the top fun that was the A-Team was successfully transplanted to the big screen.

    Yet another action movie that flips off the laws of physics then shoots at them from a falling tank. If you rented this hoping for an in-depth, novel and cohesive story, you're going to be one unhappy camper. The point of this movie is the mind-bending assault plots, the rollicki... read moreng action sequences and the superhumanly cool characters. All their flaws, like Face's quick attachment to women and Murdock's terrible illogic are not perceived by their compatriots as the obvious weaknesses they are but instead lovable quirks, even assets. It made my brain hurt. But hey, serves me right for leaving it on.

    Four Air Force Rangers become a covert special ops team but when they are framed for theft and murder they break out of prison to clear their names. I wasn't exactly expecting The Dirty Dozen from this film but the braindead cartoon I was presented with exceeded even my expectati... read moreons of its stupidity. Liam Neeson makes for a fair Hannibal Smith but Quinton Jackson is just a mumbling homeboy stereotype and the other two just smart mouthed irritants who I would have been quite happy to see blown out of the sky. The dialogue is just a collection of weak, throwaway one-liners and the plot nothing more than an excuse to blow up as much of the scenery as possible and plays out like a Hanna-Barbera version of Mission: Impossible. I found it an impossible mission to care.

    If you loved the 80's A-Team TV series you will love this movie. Corny lines, impossible missions, it's got it all. It shows how the team was formed and how they became fugitives. Great cast. Liam Neeson is brilliant as Hannibal. As in the movie Taken, he's an unexpectedly good a... read morection hero. Bradley Cooper is a hunky Face, Murdock is still loopy and BA is still scared of flying. I like Jessica Biel but I didn't think she was right for the lead female role. She is pretty but there's no substance to her character. I think someone like Demi Moore or Jodie Foster would have been better, more gutsy but I guess they needed a younger model. Maybe even Jessica Alba would have been a better choice.

    TV-based action-comedy digs up the story of a group of four Iraq War soldiers. Their names are Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper), B.A. Baracus (Quinton Jackson), and H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock (Sharl... read moreto Copley). After being arrested for a crime (it's unclear what crime it is in specific, but it's quite clear that none of them actually committed it), they set out to clear their names from the U.S. military.

    That plot is the worst part of this film. The "clearing names" piece has become not a staple but, in fact, a clichà (C) to the action and thriller genres. Don't believe me? Watch SALT, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, and FLETCH. You'll find at least that plot point in common.

    I have never watched a single episode of the A-team, but a movie should be enjoyable regardless of whether a person has watched the show or not. This is one of those films where I enjoyed it overall, but it is a bad movie. The plot feels like three movies in one. The film is a... read more trilogy of origin stories. The action is noisy and over-the-top, but that is the point. The biggest enjoyment factor in this film is seeing the main cast interact with each other. Their are some moments of fun, but as a whole, it is a disjointed mess.

    One of the very few summer movies of 2010, alongside Iron Man 2, that I actually enjoyed. I originally had no intention of seeing this, but there was nothing showing during those months so I gave this a shot. I really liked it alot. I know nothing about the television show, but t... read morehis film is great by itself.

    The action, fighting, and special effects sequences are great. The whole movie is intense and highly entertaining. Never once was I bored.

    I also really liked the cast. Liam Neeson, again, has given us another really good action movie. Bradley Cooper, Patrick Wilson, and Jessica Biel were also good. It was also nice to Sharlto Copley after loving his performance in District 9. He was very funny.

    This is a great, fun, action-packed, blockbuster movie. I really enjoyed it and I'd definitely recommend it.

    Pretty fun. Not nearly as violent as I thought, or the original actors made out it was. Clever directing, and good transition of plots from old to new. Kids stuff action movie, but old school vibe.
  • June 23, 2011
    A great film. My favourite part being 'You spin me right round' A must see! Bradley Cooper with his shirt off. You can't miss that!

    Horrible editing and a script working at 180mph pretty much ruins A-Team from moment one.

Had the action sequences been better framed and presented, this might have been one of the summer's mindless high points. As it is, it's a passable diversion. Full Review

Let's just be thankful that Carnahan, instead of redoing "The A-Team," didn't remake "Gandhi." The Ganges would have run red. Pacifism is for wussies. Full Review

The A-Team is utterly convinced of its own lovability even as it strains our credibility, abuses our patience, and punishes our eardrums. Full Review

To the old box-office maxim that trite makes right, a fresh corollary must be attached: Chaos is the new order, and ugly the new beautiful. Full Review

The A-Team is so busy trying to connect with the audience's hearts, minds and wallets that it never quite connects with itself. Full Review

Nothing - not the characters, not their stories and certainly not their violence - is meant to register deeply. Their words and worlds are disposable; it's no wonder they fade so fast. Full Review

The toss-away jokes? Who cares? The idea that B.A. Baracus becomes a peacenik in the middle of the film? Who cares? The ending's complete lack of resolution? Who cares? Full Review

This team may have given itself an A, but viewers likely won't be so generous. Full Review
