The Netflix platform is giving another chance to an action film released directly on video in 2010 even though it had an incredible cast.
Subscribers to the Netflix platform are enjoying The Losers, an action film full of adrenaline and humor starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Columbus Short and Óscar Jaenada, no less!
A special forces commando is sent to Bolivia to put an end to the actions of a major drug trafficker. In reality, it is a set-up and the troop finds themselves trapped while their operation leader, Max, goes to sell a powerful weapon to terrorists. The commando then joins forces with the mysterious Aisha to return to America and stop Max before he does the irreparable.

The Losers does not shine with the originality of its scenario but succeeds in creating a real “team spirit” between the characters, which is quite rare to see in action films, most of which do not take the time to personify their heroes and limit them to archetypes. Here, in 1 hour 40 minutes, everyone has the opportunity to shine and have their moment.

The film is by Sylvain White, a director without a personal visual touch who therefore fits easily into the different universes necessitated by his career. If The Losers has a more “hand-held camera and saturated color image” style, he worked on much more “framed” CBS series like MacGyver, Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour, Magnum PI and Hawaii Five-O. In all these examples, we have especially come to look for his talent for depicting the action, which is undeniable.

Carried by dynamic music, The Losers plays the action and rhythm card to the fullest, which won the support of subscribers to the point of bringing the feature film to fourth place in the top 10 most watched films of the Netflix platform.
