The long-mooted movie of The A-Team arrives in UK cinemas.
Does it deserve a better return than US cinema-goers gave it, though?
And they certainly didnt seem to, either.
LikeInception
Its not the only problem thatThe A-Teammovie has, either.
It takes, for instance, far too long to get out of the blocks.
Its aided considerably, too, by most of its cast.
And then theresDistrict 9s Sharlto Copley as Murdock, in scene-stealing form.
The weak link is mumbler extraordinaire Quinton Rampage Jackson as B.A.
Its a good job, for instance, that I had foreknowledge of B.A.
Id argue that around a third ofThe A-Teammovie weve got here manages that.
Its good, occasionally very good.
Its just too muddled to reach any higher than that.
