A sizzle reel usually includes a mash-up of footage in a loose form of a trailer. The reel from Sylvain White‘s The Losers is no different. We get the clip of a scene and a bunch of new footage. When it was announced the film was PG-13 I settled my expectations, but this brought them right back up again. The action flick stars Chris Evans, Zoe Saldana, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Holt McCallany and Oscar Jaenada. Check out the sizzle reel below via MySpace as well as impressions from the first screening and head over to /Film to see a ton of new hi-res images.
Plot: An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, “The Losers” centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team—Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar—soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deeply undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max. They are joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda, who is more than capable of scoring a few points of her own. Working together, when they’re not arguing amongst themselves, they have to stay one step ahead of the globetrotting Max—a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high—tech global war for his own benefit. If they can take down Max and save the world at the same time, it’ll be a win win for the team now known as The Losers.
The film also screened last night in LA, here are some impressions:
elguapo1 (from Latino Review):
Wow. The Losers was FUCKING GREAT. I loved it.
The losers was a lot better than I expected. Very funny. Good action. Awesome opening and closing credits. Chris Evans stole many scenes.
Two of my closest friends just simultaneously sent texts to inform me The Losers is all kinds of awesome.
Studios take note: The Losers is a comic book #movie done right! Don’t be the only kid on your block to miss out on it!
Just watched the losers and I dug it.
The Losers hits theaters April 23rd.
