Well, this film came together. I only rate it a four out of five because of the way it has been stitched together. It doesn't flow the way it feels like it should.
Fans of the A-Team will likely see this film in favour. The characterisations aren't as close to the originals as they could be, but once you settle down and watch it the characters do grow on you. Heck even Dwight Shultz (the original Howling Mad Murdock from the TV series) managed to make it in to the film as a German doctor. Dirk Benedict was also in there playing Pensacola Prisoner Milt but I didn't see Mr T in the credits. Unfortunately George Peppard passed on some fifteen years ago.
There is plenty of action and a few twists and turns. Some modern spy film manoeuvres make it in to some of the quieter scenes and it has been brought up to date. Certainly a watchable film which, by the finish, you've probably put all prejudice of the TV series behind you. It is a shame that the pacing doesn't quite do justice to the final scenes.
I won't spoil it for you other than to say that the TV series always said that they were tried for a crime that they didn't commit. This film is the detail of that crime. I'll just close it saying that it gets a four out of five.
Good show.
