For everyone who enjoys good old entertainment and mindless energy on the screen, this is the movie for you. If you remember the TV show "The A Team" then you will be right at home watching this mile-a-minute explosive action flick.
Starring Liam Neeson as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, Bradley Cooper as Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck, this movie rocks from the opening scene until its final conclusion 117 minutes later, and it plays like only about half that time has gone by. This is one movie that could have been longer, had they maintained the storyline and I don't think anyone would have complained.
Four US Army troops are mistakenly sentenced to jail for an offense they didn't commit, and thus are forced to break out, running from the law, to clear their names.
Director Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin' Aces), who also co-wrote this screenplay, has provided you with a roillercoaster of a ride with very few breaks to catch your breath.
If you are looking for a movie that will have you watching the Academy Awards, forget it, this is not that kind of movie. The character development is just enough so you know who you are rooting for. Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson is terrific as B.A. Baracus, the role made famous by Mr. T on the television show.
The Junkie Meter gives this one FOUR stars and basically it's for the non-stop action and thrill ride it provides. Not the best movie ever made, but far from the worst.
;D

I never was a fan of the original A-Team television series because, for one, I never really liked those "bad-ass" types of shows and, two, I despised and loathed George Peppard. (Please forgive me for speaking ill of the now-deceased actor. :embarrassed: :angel: ) I must say that I like Liam Neeson, but this is one film I feel like I can honestly wait for to be issued on DVD. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
