Quick Synopsis
Five members of special forces team led by Clay are sent for a mission in Bolivia. During an air strike call, they find that a truck load of children is coming in the danger zone. Calling to abort the mission, they are intercepted by "Max" which scrambled their signal and eventually blocked them from calling the mission control. Clay decides to save the children and bring them to extraction. Due to limited space on the chopper, the children are extracted first leaving the special forces behind. However, Max call for a strike on the chopper which kills all the passengers on board.  Realized that Clay is that actual target, they stay undercover on nearby village until a woman approach clay for a mission to kill Max. 


Review
The movie is bad as it is. Filled with corny and junk dialog, the movie get even worse with ridiculous story line that won't even make audience to impress. Not until there, the fail twisting plot that suddenly pop up  in the middle of the nowhere with unclear motive makes the movie looks like a cheap revenge movie with no direction. All I can say, the movie get to worst from minute to minute. 

The characters are unique if I may say. The biggest disappointment of it is the screen play which I believe need more improvement in character building. The action element is already there. The biggest losers in the movie is the villain "Max" character which you will find it some what to be cool and well developed for the first few minutes but then after 40 minutes, the villain looks like a mentally ill person which the character is poorly executed with a poorly structured dialog which makes him "a  fail wannabe Godfather". 

The premise of the movie is similar to A TEAM but A TEAM is way better than The Losers.

Two words for this movie "Forget it".
