Being a kid in the 80s meant I grew up watching one of the all time cheesy action shows, The A-Team. Following a group of Vietnam veterans who were on the run from the Army for a crime they didn’t commit as they helped anyone who could afford to hire them. It was perfect to watch as a kid with explosions and gunfire that never seemed to kill anyone and with almost no blood shown even though almost everyone had a gun of sorts. It also seemed as though every show had some point in it where the A-Team would get captured and locked up, only to bust out in a home-made tank they built from seemingly innocuous odds and ends that they found lying around.
Fast forward to 2010 and you have the new movie attempting to bring back the A-Team with Liam Neeson starring as the team’s leader, Hannibal and Sharlto Copley playing the part of Howling Mad Murdock in his first big role since District 9. While I was initially a bit worried at the idea of seeing a beloved show from my childhood getting the Hollywood treatment my fears have been silenced by the first trailer for the movie. The last 10 seconds of the trailer make this film a must watch for the year
