More ’80s TV On the Big Screen with The A-Team (2010)
As ’80s TV adaptations month continues on the Weekly Movie Throwdown we’re turning our sights this week onto The A-Team, a show that was a big deal for both Mike and Steven when they were young. Joe Carnahan’s big-screen version is fun in a nostalgia sense, but loses the thread a little bit throughout and veers away from the heart of what made the TV version so good. It’s also dripping with CGI which, in 2010, was incredibly obvious and distracting. Despite that, the film has some great set pieces and a stellar performance from a still-relatively-new Bradley Cooper.
