The Losers

The Losers

Date of release: April 23, 2010
Rotten Tomatoes: 48%
Metacritic: 44/100
Why: Overshadowed by the similarly themed "The A-Team" opening less than two months after it and saddled by a terrible key art (poster and outdoor) campaign, "Losers" never had a chance at really winning over moviegoers.  More appropriate for a first week of August debut than an "almost" summer release in April, the action thriller had some great action set pieces and a charismatic cast that deserved a sequel. Unfortunately, the studio just couldn't sell it correctly (with a late marketing campaign mind you). Now, like "Gentlemen," it's found a less lucrative afterlife on cable TV.
