THE A-TEAM. The Most Outrageous Sequences in Action Cinema

Table of Contents

  1. Country: USA
  2. Directed by: Joe Carnahan
  3. Release date: 2010

If, after three thousand hours in World of Tanks, you thought you knew every possible application of a tank, you were wrong. A-Team proves that the hunk of 50 tons of metal can be used for things more exciting than negotiating capitalism around the world. It also works well as a shock absorber and a rudder when parachuting. And the rest... The rest is a free fall. And fishing.

What is The A-Team?

It is a full movie remake of a classic action series, which told the story of four outlaw soldiers – Hannibal, Faceman, Murdock and B. A. Barracus. These gentlemen, as mercenaries fighting for a just cause, kick asses of evil antagonists and help poor people in need. Their golden rule? Always have a plan.

Is it worth watching the whole movie?

The A-Team has its issues and sometimes makes no sense at all – the set was allegedly total chaos – but... Othen than that – yes! If you're a fan of crazy action movies from the '90s, at least. Such as Con Air or Face/Off. Because it's exactly this kind of (master?) piece. Light, summer cinema with nice heroes and overkill mayhem.

What about money and sales?

So-so. Nearly 180 million dollars isn’t impressive considering how popular the franchise used to be. I don't think I'd count on a continuation. Not after the revolution brought to the action movies genre by John Wick.

Has published stories in the monthly Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror magazine, as well as in the first volume of the Antologii Wolsung. Lives for "middle cinema" and meaty entertainment, but he won't despise any experiment or Fast and Furious. In games, looks for a good story. Loves Baldur's Gate 2, but when he sees Unreal Tournament, Doom, or a good race game, the inner child wakes up. In love with sheds and thrash metal. Since 2012, has been playing and creating live action role-playing, both within the framework of the Bialystok Larp Club Zywia, and commercial ventures in the style of Witcher School.
