A - Team (2010; Genre: Action) Rating : 2 / 5 "Purely an entertainment only"


A - Team is a remake of the well known TV series. Full of action and a bit of comedy, this is what A-Team is about. If you like 'Paris with Love' THEN you will like "A-Team".

A-Team is about four guys working in a group which specialized in a covert mission. Amazingly, along the movie, the A-Team members is miraculously lucky which it seems not a single bullet go through their bodies. Sounds interesting? Not yet, the A-Team manages to survive from a free fall of about 30,000ft and under fire by high technology drone. Now its interestingly weird----- and astonishingly it doesn't stop here!!!, surviving hundreds of container falling on the members is 101% unbelievable lucky. Just wonder what spell do they got for being that lucky.

The movie begins with Hannibal Smith being brutally beaten for ransom then suddenly it turns out to be a rescue mission of his fellow team mate Faceman and in on the way, he miraculously lucky to find another a-team driving a van and manages to rescue his team mate right on time. "Seems like the story line is full of coincidence?As I say, the A-TEAM is about four lucky guys on a mission" Then it continues on recruiting another a-team member in a mentally ill hospital. Afterwards, they manages to kill the corrupted police chief who they successfully baited to chase them to the US soil which then fired down by jet fighter. Then the movie continues with another mission after "8 years and 80 successful missions" of finding the missing plate and dig deeper who is behind it.

What I can say is Liam Neeson as "John Hannibal Smith" is spot on and his character is well executed, unfortunately, a corny dialog of his mates is a complete "no no" as it makes the wise Hannibal look like being fooled around. Moreover, Bradley Cooper as a "Templeton Faceman Peck" is trying to execute his character as a James Bond but turn out to be only pervert guy with crazy idea.

A-Team fails to deliver an appealing story. I have never watched the TV series before, perhaps they just wanted to keep the original classic story on this "A-Team" movie. However, a new decades with a new taste but a complete same style of story? I guess it will works decades before but not in today trends cause it makes the movie just like another regular movie entertainment which doesn't leave any feeling for the audience to talk about after it finished.

The last thing I can say about the movie is "it is fun to watch, a pure entertainment that you will not ask for more"
