I guess The A Team isn't really that good of a film, but it is an entertaining one. The film has a fun cast with Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and some bruiser called Quintin "Rampage" Jackson recreating the roles from the television series. Jessica Biel is the Intelligence Officer assigned to catch this rogue team of Army soldiers and Jon Hamm shows up in a rather stupid cameo.
The plot starts out fairly decent but descends into pointless confusion by the middle of the film. It's hard to understand how it's going to resolve itself but you can be sure it will be in a big action climax like so many of these types of big screen action films usually did.
So what is there to recommend about this film? Well the general light tone of the film with it's emphasis on comedy and character interaction. The over the top action scenes and the silliness of the whole thing make this an acceptable no brainier entertainment. Some of the dialog is pretty funny.
The director Joe Carnahan wrote the screenplay along with Brian Bloom and Skip Woods. These three guys have worked in the action genre where men are men and get to blow things up.
The running time is 119 minutes.
