A Team - this is not a reboot, its a tribute! . Review on The A Team Movie

Simply fabulous! I mean innovative and incredible.something Indian films these days never have. Indian film makers. watch this first!

As I watched The'A' Team movie, the thing that kept striking me was the power and confidence that ran throughout the movie. The screenplay was simply stunning and so was the script and direction. The break-neck pace of the film deliberately slows down now and then. possibly to make fun of all script writers who sit and think about providing lightning fast screenplay. This movie for all its worth and much less negative points definitely deserves your time and money.

The plot, as told in the trailer, is about a team of Elite united states officers sent to prison for a crime they never committed. What actually follows is quite obvious but what they show is . well, un-obvious. Twists and turns thrown in all around the movie with some very clever script-writing and terrific ideas laid out as'plans' are the biggest and brawniest assets for this flick. Every plan that is made and executed by the A-Team is worth watching. This is the possibly the next level of film-making.

Amazingly active, surprisingly charming for his age and subtle as ever Liam Neeson sizzles as their captain, Col.Hannibal smith. Bradley Cooper as'face' Peck is stunning as the'ladies man' in the team. The rest of the cast just play along:) I, however missed Mr.T as'B.A. Barnacus' and the ripe Jessica Biel;-) the one that appears on screen looks too skinny:P They team could have however focussed on the character developement of Murdock. I felt the most lovable fella in the team, was being ignored a little.

The director really deserves credit for the twists and turns along with a lot of innovative ideas in every action block. Though some of them went a little overboard like a helicopter turning upside down and a tank falling from a shot down plane.the execution keeps it so damn engaging! Dialogues and cinematography are well above par as it lives to your expectations and leaves you impressed. Now and then there are tributes to the original series and the characters. The mention of Ghandhiji in a scene evokes thunderous applause and whistles at the theatre. The climax was a bit of an overkill but this movie deserves it.:) Costumes, sets, areas, editing. well there is nothing I can think of to complain. Finally a movie that respects your intelligence!

I don't want to spoil your movie experience with over-hype, which is exactly what I have been doing now:) But still this is one good movie that holds your interest with slam-dunk action and adventure.So with piping hot stars, clever screenplay and magnificent execution, this is the best tribute that can be given to the original Series.

Get in and get yourself some fun to escape a boring weekend.

No Sound! only substance!
