A new type of movie comes to us in “The Losers.” Not only is this an action movie, it is also a comedy  with a plot containing unexpected twists.

When Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) leads his CIA black ops team into Bolivia things take a turn for the worse. His team, including Jensen (Chris Evans), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short) and Cougar (Óscar Jaenada), become entrapped into a conspiracy when a man named Max (Jason Patric) makes a call to Clay.

From here the action spirals upward and the black ops team is caught in the middle of a dilemma when they meet Aisha (Zoe Saldana). She helps them back into the United States, but not without her own agenda.

“The Losers,” directed by Sylvain White, the same director that brought us “Stomp the Yard,” keeps you on the edge of your seat. Just when it looks like it is about to get serious then a joke is slipped in leaving the theater erupted in laughter.

The quiet humor is what sets the movie apart from typical action movies. A brilliant example comes when Pooch is shot in the legs and the question of can he walk comes up.

Pooch then leaves a bit of laughter on the screen with his answers.

Not only is there humor, but the guns seem to never stop blazing, with the sharp shooter Cougar. Aisha holds her own, carrying at least two guns every time, even adding a bazooka to her arsenal.

“The Losers” is an action movie that packs a comedic punch. Seeing it is the perfect way to spend two hours of your day.
