The A-Team

A man who loves when a plan comes together, Col. Hannibal Smith leads a close-knit team of elite operatives and Iraq War veterans. Framed for a crime they didn't commit, Smith and his men, Capt. H.M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock , Sgt. Bosco ‘B.A.’ Baracus, and Lt. Templeton ‘Faceman’ Peck, break out and go rogue, using their special talents to clear their names and find the perpetrator. Hot on their trail is Capt. Charissa Sosa, who was once involved with a member of Smith's team and has sworn to capture them, no matter what it takes.

Critics were split almost evenly on this big-screen revival of the TV series, with defenders treating its chaos as a feature and detractors treating it as a flaw. The central argument was whether blockbuster excess could substitute for coherent storytelling and character work — most felt it couldn't, though audiences were considerably more forgiving than reviewers.
