A-Team
by Gary Barnidge on June 13th, 2010
First let me start by saying I didn’t watch much of the A-Team growing up so this is a whole new experience for me.
The A-Team is based off a hit TV show in the 80′s About War veterans who are known for doing some of the craziest things but getting the job done are framed for something they didn’t do and have to clear their names and find out who is behind the crime. Along the way they find out some interesting things that change the way they view things.
The Filming in the movie is done nicely with a lot of high powered explosions in which the camera is right in the middle of and sometimes even getting hit by something which puts you right in the action. In some of the scenes they flip back and forth between the action and the group talking about what they are going to do and then back to action of them doing certain things instead of telling you and them just doing it walks you through each step they were going to do which makes things more real for you and doesn’t make you remember all they were going to do to see if they actually do it.
The acting in the movie was great Liam Neeson put in superb performance as Hannibal Smith. The way he presents himself in the movie and just goes into all details on the way he acts is something that draws me in more to his characters. The surprise of the movie is Quinton Rampage Jackson, you wouldn’t expect much from someone with little to no acting experience to be able to deliver a pretty good performance and show the emotion he showed in the movie. Jessica Biel was a little awkward as Captain Sosa because she just wasn’t as demanding as that character would be and the way she held the gun it just looked like was something she wasn’t comfortable with and just didn’t make for a truly believable character. Sharlto Copley as Murdock was amazing because he was crazy and out there and just so believable. He was probably my favorite character.
Director Joe Carnahan hasn’t done very many known movies probably most known for is Smoking Aces and this film was a big step up from that movie not only in directing but also in expectations and he did a good job of delivering an action packed movie with a good storyline that kept the viewers wondering what will happen next.
All in all as for never really watching the original show which this movie may differ from or may be just like it.
I feel the movie is an 8 out of 10 an action packed movie that delivered in many ways.
