A-Team

The A-Team is the story about the four members of the alpha team attempting to get their clean jail records, freedom, and ranking of positions in the military restored to them as well as prove their innocence. The story begins with Hannibal (Liam Neeson) in the middle of the desert to save his friend Face (Bradley Cooper), him hitching a ride with BA Baracaus (“Quition” Jackson). “They are the best and specialize in the ridiculous” Along the way they, with Murdock, are on a mission to return falsely printed money and are framed for the bombing of such illegally printed money. Throughout the film there are all sorts of betrayals from the CIA operatives and black operatives which give the intention to trust no one. In the end the craziest of them has a plan with one problem for BA, he doesn’t want to kill. How will the Alpha team be able to get their freedom, restore their names, and prove their innocence? This film is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Studio of America.

The A-Team is another summer action packed comedy in which deals with little character development, plot which intended to be unpredictable but evidentially fails, and with excellent action scenes. The acting of all the characters was well below average, even to Mr. Neeson who has chosen a series of action movies as of late that have flopped. Also there is a scene which two quotes from Mondates Gandhi one referring to the good of violence and one referring to the good of peace. What the movie left out is the time period of both those quotes. The one referring to the good of violence was only to the people of India during WWI so that they may gain their independence as a country from Britain for fighting with them during WWI. The one referring to peace was the use of non-violence which was after WWI and has more relevance of Gandhi today. The movie had moments of slight comedy which barely saves this film from completely being a downhill movie. C-
