| Description |
BUY IT HERE! Give it up to the A-Team: they've always been good at demolishing
things in big, big ways. Freed from the confines of the 1980s TV
series, the 2010 blockbuster movie version allows the four members of
the paramilitary squad to really amp up the mayhem to newly crazed
heights. Liam Neeson plays team leader Hannibal Smith (inheriting the
cigar-chomping from the show's George Peppard), and pro wrestler
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is "B.A." Baracus, the TV show's most iconic
character (insert Mr. T "I pity the fool" joke here). As the vain Face,
Bradley Cooper preens in convincing fashion, and District 9
out-of-nowhere star Sharlto Copley plays the unhinged pilot "Howlin'
Mad" Murdock. These boys are on the trail of some money-counterfeiting
plates, from Bagdad to Germany to places in between. It would be
understating it to say that the plot is not of primary importance,
although Patrick Wilson has some fun as a CIA official and Jessica Biel
occasionally strikes poses as Face's ex-flame, now a military officer
displeased with the A-Team's extra-legal shenanigans. The storytelling
is insipid and half-hearted--but when it comes to snarky dialogue and
two-fisted action scenes, director Joe Carnahan is in his comfort zone.
It's reasonably fun watching the working-out of such logistical puzzles
as dropping a tank (with crew inside) from a plane, or scattering the
main characters on a dockside as cargo containers rain down from a ship
looming above them. Good times, although is it asking too much for
certain basic laws of physics (if you drop a human body ten stories,
for instance, it might actually sustain injuries) to be used as a
guideline? But worrying about such matters isn't in the spirit of The A-Team, which cheerfully ignores the petty concerns of credibility and logic. --Robert Horton |
