The A-TEAM, the modern re-imagining of the iconic 80's television show, is just as good as the old TV show without the nostalgia. Let me let you in on a little secret, the original TV was terrible and this movie might be worse. The film was disjointed and irritating. It was as if the rammed 3 movies together and only the worst parts rose to the surface. Witty banter that tried too hard and failed, action scenes that didn't work and wasted talent. The film seemed like it wanted to be an Ocean's 11 style film with Die Hard action and failed on both accounts. Bradley Cooper who normally oozes cool and witty banter was really off putting and seemed to try too hard as Face. Liam Neeson just didn't seem right as Hannibal. Other actors were non-factors and wouldn't have saved this mess of a story. The whole film seemed to be based on the line "I love it when a plan comes together" since every step of the film is a part of numerous plans which has ridiculous points of improbable execution and impossible timing to come together. Plans should make things easier. One part that seemed to upset me most was after a series of actions which involved men jumping from motorcycles onto semi's and tackling people while avoiding bullets with no emotional reaction but then they drive through a gated fence and many hoots and hollars were had by the characters in the film. This after they had completed the most death defying stunts.
Just a terrible terrible film and avoid at all costs.
