Move Review "The A-Team"

You've all seen the Ocean's Eleven movies right? Its pretty much a group of dudes getting together and making some super complicated, delicate, highly improbable, and largely dependent on luck plans to pull of some major heists. Yeah, they're pretty cool (plus they all have my birthday brother in 'em). While watching them have you ever thought "I wonder what this would be like if it had more heavy artillery and explosions?" If you have then you just might like this movie. They don't have tuxes and there are no casinos in sight, but they do have machine guns and helicopters. They use these to pull of some ridiculously elaborate plans and almost all of them result in explosions too. They do all this with 7 less people! Their wisecracking is not quite as uber-cool as Danny Ocean and company, but they do have a parachuting tank that they fly. Thats always a pretty fair trade in my book. I don't remember really watching this show as a kid, but I do remember that it had one of the best opening themes ever and one of the coolest catch phrases of all time. All this movie needed was those and it would be well on its way to being good, but they kicked it up a notch and made it more than good. Flying tanks will do that.
