The A-Team

In a movie version of the popular 80's tv show, The A-Team, an elite group of Army Rangers is blackmailed in their heroic rescue of stolen US property. The group is sentenced to prison, subsequently break out, then regroup to exact their revenge.

This movie was a lot of fun. There's a lot of campy, over-the-top action as well as some cheesy dialogue but somehow it all works rather well. The characters are all very likable, have lots of chemistry and are very entertaining. The portrayal of the way the team executes their near impossible plans with reckless precision is done very well and a lot of fun to watch. The ending almost got a little too over-the-top for me but it fit the movie and was also entertaining.

*** out of 4 - Must see (PG-13 for lots of violence and language)
