Movies to see: The Losers

Hitting Cinema’s today / yesterday (some of us live in the future ya know) the movie adaptation of Vertigo’s espionage comic,The Losers is being billed as an Action, Adventure, Comedy but I’m expecting more of an over-the-top comic-book action picture. Not that that is a bad thing, I love over-the-top comic-booky action pictures. The basic story line is that after being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination.

The official tag line for the film is “Anyone Else Would Be Dead By Now” and considering Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the lead male in this balls to the wall action flick I wouldn’t be surprised if he bites a bullet or at least get messed up pretty badly like he seems to do in everything else I have seen him in:

• Supernatural as John Winchester – Dies
• Watchmen as Edward Blake / The Comedian – Dies
• Weeds as Judah Botwin – Dies
• and i’m told he died in Grey’s Anatomy as well (no revoke)

Getting back to the movie and on the strength of the quote “I’m the black MacGyver, BlacGyver” and the trailer below I think this will be a nice entrée in the lead up to “The Expendables” in August.
