The A-Team

Problem solved

The big-screen version of the famous TV series features South Africa's Sharlto Copely as Murdoch. As per the series, four army veterans are falsely convicted of a crime they did not commit. They break out of jail and go underground, trying to clear their name while at the same time helping other people in trouble, and managing to stay one step ahead of the assorted law officials after them. Expect plenty of explosions.

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert The A-Team is an incomprehensible mess with the 1980s TV show embedded inside.

eye Weekly (Canada)Jason Anderson This A-Team plays out like Team America: World Police minus the fun, satire and puppet sex.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs Intermittently fun but nothing more.
