THE A-TEAM (PG-13) I love it when a summer
blockbuster comes together. Combine said
summer blockbuster with one of my favorite
childhood television shows (right up there
with "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Dallas") and
you have one satisfied movie reviewer. Have
no doubt, The A-Team is your typical non-stop
action spectacular, but Narc writer-director
Joe Carnahan pulls off the plan like it was
designed by Hannibal himself.
Children of the '80s know the story.
Four Special Forces operatives—Col. John
"Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson), Lt.
Templeton "Face" Peck (Bradley Cooper),
Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus (Quinton
"Rampage" Jackson) and Captain "Howling
Mad" Murdock (District STs Sharlto Copley)—
are convicted of a crime they did not commit.
After escaping, they remain on the run from
the military that is constantly hounding these
fugitive soldiers of fortune.
The big-screen version divulges the here
tofore secret origins of the A-Team, and for
once, I did not care that the movie wasted
time on what could have remained an untold
aspect of the team's history. The quartet's
meet-cute starts the movie off
with a slam-bang that does not
stop exploding until the credits.
For nearly two hours, the A-Team
slips from one outlandish action
scenario to the next, each one
more preposterous than the last.
"The A-Team" may hail from
one of TV's cheesier eras, but the
only way the movie could work
is with respect for the material.
Otherwise, the souffle would
deflate into unsuccessful parody
d la "The Dukes of Hazzard"
movie. Carnahan and his screen
writer pals, actor Brian Bloom
and Skip Woods, walk the line perfectly. The
movie has as many—maybe more—laughs as
it does explosions. They've written these fan
favorites perfectly, for a cast (kudos to the
casting crew) that nails them. I grew up a
Face kid so rising star Cooper had an easy sell,
but Copley has me buying Murdock, always my
least favorite teammate, in bulk.
The A-Team is sublimely ridiculous. But
that's why they're the A-Team.
