The A-Team


Medium : English
Starring : Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley, Quinton Jackson, Jessica Biel
Director: Joe Carnahan


Usually Hollywood films are notable in our country in the name of the popular actors who did
the main role in it. In the case of a movie like 'The A-Team', such things are not easy. Even then while traveling, when I saw the promotional posters of this action movie, it caught attention due to its unusual title featuring four actors. The good thing was that I was able to identify a couple of faces who acted in well known movies like 'Taken' and 'Hang Over'. The revolution happened in the internet medium is so relevant in this century that it will help us to get each and every updated information in any field in our finger tips. Thus the name of the two actors were easily known as Liam Neeson and Bradley Cooper respectively. Another information is that 'The A-Team' is the remake of a hit television series which happened in US almost 25years before.

The main
incident of the movie is happening in the last day at the US base, who are leaving from Iraq with in hours. The military general had given an un official mission to the members (Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson) headed by Hannibal (Liam Neeson). They have completed their job successfully, but the end reslut was not a good one for them. They were caught, court marshaled and sent to various prisons. To prove their innocence and to capture the real culprits, they escapes from the captivity. How they succeeds in the new mission, is shown here.

The performance of every one in the team are good. The introduction scenes of each characters are done well. The highlight of 'The A-Team' is the action scenes especially the sequences in the war plane and also the way in which the A team escapes from the prison. Sharlto Copley is playing the person who is mad of flying air crafts. The contrasting nature of the angry young man role (Quinton Jackson) when it comes to the action side creates laughing also. The planning of the final mission and its execution are also notable. How ever the explosion of too many cargo containers in the shipyard towards the end is unbelievable, but we are adjusted to such things happening in Hollywood since olden times.

Those who love action packed movies in English should watch 'The A-Team' also.
