"The A-Team" by Yojimbo

Four Air Force Rangers become a covert special ops team but when they are framed for theft and murder they break out of prison to clear their names. I wasn't exactly expecting The Dirty Dozen from this film but the braindead cartoon I was presented with exceeded even my expectations of its stupidity. Liam Neeson makes for a fair Hannibal Smith but Quinton Jackson is just a mumbling homeboy stereotype and the other two just smart mouthed irritants who I would have been quite happy to see blown out of the sky. The dialogue is just a collection of weak, throwaway one-liners and the plot nothing more than an excuse to blow up as much of the scenery as possible and plays out like a Hanna-Barbera version of Mission: Impossible. I found it an impossible mission to care.
