3 1/2 Minutes of Hot Losing Action
Here’s a new extended trailer for The Losers, starring the Comedian and Uhura and Captain America, among others. I think it looks pretty good, but I also think I’m still less excited to see it than the summer’s other two big action flicks, The Expendables and The A-Team. I don’t really hold that against The Losers, because I genuinely think it looks pretty good; it’s more that this is probably the finest summer for extremely awesome action films in years. Third place isn’t bad at all. Besides, they’re supposedly losers, they should be fine with this.
