If The Losers is aiming to be a big, fun action movie, then the first trailer for the film hits the target.  Tons of explosions, gun fights, and punching, they’ve got the action part down.  But the charisma from leads Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Chris Evans, and Zoe Saldana are what sold me as their characters seem to relish every moment of mayhem they cause.  Saldana has definitely picked up some star power from 2009 (co-starring in two of the year’s biggest films will do that) and she gets to shine here.  Meanwhile, the guys are having fun and it’s hard to decide which one I like best.  Evans has those goofy glasses and Morgan certainly has a roguish charm, but I have to give it up for Elba since he has the best line in the trailer.  But no matter how you slice it, The Losers now has me hooked.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer from MSN Movies along with the official synopsis.  The Losers hits theaters on April 9th.

For those just tuning in, here’s the official synopsis:

An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, “The Losers” centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team–Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar –find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.

    Looks like some fun and they will get the jump on the A-Team which comes out later.
    Since they both kinda have the same storyline.

    Hey Matt, you know if this is gonna be R? If so then this has me sold.

    Blaguyver!!

    Looks pretty good. Looking into the director and writer.

    MEH. It looks like its trying to be THE A TEAM. I think it just makes THE A TEAM look better. I think I'll wait for DVD.

    Surprisingly good. Not enough Jason Patric. He is the most underrated actor in America. He will kill the role of Max, the best character in the comic.

    The A-TEAM, imo, doesn't look that good despite the cast. The single preview looked meh.

    Why isn't Patric in the trailer more? I hope they didn't cut his part down in the film. I've been waiting to see his take on this genre. The guy plays by his own rules and always does something interesting.

    I think you can definetly tell that The A-team has style. THE LOSERS doesn't seem to have the same pizaz.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I like 4 of the actors in it before it even starts and the preview looked great. That is exactly what an action movie is supposed to look like. Exciting,lots of explosions,the audience worried if the good guys will make it, humor and some great one-liners Unfortunately it is not always done correctly, but I read below Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt wrote the script. While I am not aware of Mr. Vanderbilt's work, I have been aware of Mr. Berg since he was an actor, writer and director so I have no worries this film. I believe we are all in for a great ride.
