The A-Team skinny!

With Joe Carnahan's The A-Team launching this weekend here in Ireland & the UK, here's a quicky review to help you make up your mind on whether to check it out!

I'm sure everyone is aware of at least what The A-Team is all about, so I won't get into that, but I will say this is an origin story. This particular adventure tells the story of how Face, B.A., Hannibal & Murdock all met for the first time and became The A-Team. Fast forward a few years and the team are tasked with retrieving stolen US Dollar-making plates. So off they go on their globe trotting venture between the US, Iraq & Mexico.

In terms of performances and chemistry within the team, Neeson and the gang turn in fantastic performances. And you will really believe that these guys have been friends for years. When the A-Team are together (on a mission or not) hilarity ensues. And action. A shit ton of action.

The stunts, effects and set-pieces are terrifically OTT and ridiculous. You just have to see them to believe them. Altogether, with all these pro's in the mix, The A-Team is a total blast. Not without it's flaws, but a fun, highly entertaining romp regardless.
