The Losers probably has some of the best characters i've seen in a film for while. From cool, calm leader to wisecracking comedian. Each character is easily identifiable and they blend so well together. The story in itself is nothing special but it doesn't really matter for the purposes of the film. It doesn't need a serious storyline because the film isn't serious, so don't take it seriously. The performances from all the characters are top notch with Chris Evans' standing out in particular. The Losers is a great up lifting film full with quick one liners and an action packed storyline and really puts up as a contender against the likes of The A Team. I can't wait for sequel.

The Film follows a promising young reporter, Erik Kernan Jr. (Hartnett) desperate to make a name for himself and break from out of his successful father's shadow. The story that could do just that was right round the corner. 'Champ' (Jackson), a local homeless man, who is boxing legend, 'battling Bob Satterfield', a man previously believed dead. The writing of the film is complemented justly by the quality of the acting, which is true quality. What really helps this film along is how it wasn't churned up in the Hollywood machine, it was kept as true to the story as possible. The film captures the emotions and reality of the bonds between family and friendship both good and bad, truth and lies and the repercussions that they make. This is definitely an uplifting film that is worth a watch one evening and will leave you smiling in your sleep.
