The Losers review

Good but, but lacks closure

Given orders to make sure a bombing in Bolivia goes as planned, Clay(Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and his CIA Black OPS team are sent in. The team quickly realizes that children are involved they decide to get them out of the picture. All goes as planned when the team gets them out, until they board the helicopter. Like any decent action flick out there, the copter is shot down and the kids die. The plot in this movie is simple, get revenge for the death of the twenty-five kids. We quickly discover that Max is to blame and the reason why the government thinks Clay and his team have been kiled. Clay's team consists of a computer expert named Jensen (Chris evans), Pooch (Columbus Short) the demolition expert, Cougar the long range sniper (Oscar Jaenada), and Rogue (Idris Elba) the weapons expert. In the aftermath of this Horriffic event, the team realizes that they have been betrayed and decide to go after Max. Things get complicated when Clay meets Aisha (Zoe Saldana who acting is improving as the number of films shes' in increases) who has some mysterious connection to Max and offers the team an out. The Losers is a fast moving film that is good , but lacks closure in the finale. I found myself asking the question in the movie's finale "did these people redeem themselves at all?". The simple truth of the matter is it doesn't make a difference because we may be seeing a sequel out next summer. Needless to say that the film is based on a popular comic strip. If you are looking for action this is for you, but if you want closure to a presented problem look elsewhere it's not here.
