Sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit, four commandos escaped from a maximum-security stockade and now survive in the Los Angeles underground as soldiers of fortune

In the past, I have talked about how it is unfair to a movie to go and watch it with unreasonable expectations. It should be noted that when the movie comes from source material such as television series this ‘rule’ can be relaxed, somewhat. Because there are, certain things that should be expected of the movie version of a television series. The A-team in all of its glorious cheesiness ended up hitting the mark a little left of centre. To further complicate matters was the casting of Jessica Biel in the role of Charisa Sosa a character that came across as being irrelevant. What I really would have liked to have seen was Ms. Biel being cast in a role similar to Melinda Culea’s role of Amy Allen. .
