The Losers

Actors:  Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Oscar Jaenada, Columbus Short, Jason Patric
Rating:  8 out of 10, really enjoyable romp with an ensemble cast that is a lot of fun.  Morgan finally gets to survive (inside joke) in a role although it is a near thing.  The military aspects stretch the truth a whole lot but this is still very well put together.  Saladana once again proves she is extremely capable in action/sexy roles and Evans again as the comedy relief guy.  The whole cast obviously got in great shape and did a lot of their own stunts which always makes a movie more believable.  Patric is very interesting as the villain and takes some real liberties with his role which is again, fun to watch.  Short and Jaenada, although given the smallest roles in the group, shine and are a big reason this movie works as well as it does.  This is another graphic novel which has been taken to the movies in a very exciting and enjoyable way. 
MVP(s):  Short as Pooch and Jaenada as Cougar proving there are no small roles helping to anchor a great ensemble cast
