Just before Consumablesthere have been The losers
In 2010 we discovered Sylvester Stallone in his new production Consumer goods: special unit. An action film full of testosterone and brought forward by a dream cast for fans of 80s and 90s action cinema. In addition to Jason Statham, at the forefront of the feature film with Stallone, the supporting roles are played by Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren. , Randy Couture, Steve Austin and Mickey Rourke. The proposal largely convinced the public and the success of the film launched a saga consisting of four feature films to date. However, the fate ofConsumables it probably would have been different if another action film, released a few months earlier, had been a success. We are talking about The loserswhich therefore quite lives up to its name.

Directed by Sylvain White, from a screenplay by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt and based on a comic book series, The losers was released in American theaters in April 2010. Both five months earlier Consumables. The feature film has arrived in France straight to DVD in November of the same year. Suffice it to say, Losers don’t have to talk to many people in our country. And not even in the world, since the film only collected $29 million at the worldwide box office, for an almost equivalent budget ($25 million excluding marketing expenses). Far from being profitable, The losers however, on paper it had good arguments to attract viewers.
A mission in Bolivia that goes wrong
First of all, on a historical level, The losers has real similarities to the spirit ofConsumablessince it is aboutan elite unit hired for suicide, covert and explosive missions. The team is sent one day to Bolivia to take down a drug lord. When they blow up a building where the drugs are supposed to be, they discover that there are children there. Unable to cancel an airstrike, they go there to save them. But their superior, Max, thinks they’ve discovered things they shouldn’t know. He then orders the elite unit eliminated, but instead kills the newly rescued children. The team will pretend to be dead before returning to take revenge on Max…
A great cast that is not enough
AS Consumableswe find in The losers a very large cast with Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldaña and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. However, if all these beautiful people are known to a very wide audience today, when Sylvain White’s film came out, they had not yet played THE role with which we now associate them. Chris Evans had already played The Human Torch Fantastic Four (2005) and its sequel (2007), but became one only a year later Steve Rogers inside Captain America (2011). Just like Zoe Saldaña had already played Star Trek (2009) e Avatars (2009), but it was still far from the character of Gamora inside Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).
For his part, Jeffrey Dean Morgan had certainly played numerous roles, but his notoriety changed in 2016 when he started playing Negan inside Walking Dead. Finally Idris Elba, already known to fans The cable (2002-2004), was preparing to become Luther (2010-2019), but also the Heimdall from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) with Thor (2011). A role that he will subsequently resume numerous times, becoming an important face of Marvel productions despite a minimal presence in these films.
So, these are three stars of the MCU and one of Walking Dead which are brought together in this film. If it came out today, The losers would impress with his casting. But at the time each man’s fame was clearly not enough to save him series B which received quite negative feedback equally from the press (48% positive opinions on Rotten tomatoes) compared to the public (54%).
