Movies.ie Critic Review

There isn't too much of a plot to get excited about here, director Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces) opting instead for buckets of flashes, bangs and wallops, as he moves the action from Vietnam to Iraq, our boys double-crossed on a secret mission to, eh, recover counterfeit plates in Baghdad. Hot on their tail is Face's ex, Charissa (Biel), and, hey, the boys can run, but they seemingly can't resist blowing up everything in their path.

THE VERDICT: Yep, the four Special Ops fugitives that tore up the TV ratings in the mid-1980s finally make it to the big screen, with some big-name actors, and Biel for the boys. Our own William John Neeson even gets to chew on some Ghandi quotes here – being the proper actor that he is – but, other than that, this is very much business as usual. Which is disappointing. If only they'd swapped some of those explosives for some truly witty dialogue. And an inspired script.

  Really liked this film even though the plot at times got a bit light. Th effects were brilliant up until one point where they are absolutely awful is so obviously fake its like they didn't even try.

  Having seen the trailers with the infamous over the top tank scene I was worried. But all those worries were blown away by how enjoyable the movie was. Best scene - Murdock singing "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)."

  After so many action Films turning up this summer the A-team holds its own. Not by being the most believable, but rather by being the one that it was most fun to watch. Bradley Cooper and Sharlto Copley were (surprisingly) well cast.

  A fun action film of the classic TV-Show with less of the classicness. Neeson and Copley put in fine performances. Lots of explosions and fighting. Just whats needed.
