Visual Research

I went to see The Losers last night. What a good movie. It takes place all over the world, from Bolivia to Dubai to Miami to Los Angeles.

The movie starts with a grand visual panorama of Bolivia. The team is tasked to paint a target on a village. Unfortunately, a busload of kids is brought into the village just as the call is sent in to bomb the village. So the team goes in and rescues the kids. They then put the kids on a helicopter and wait for another helicopter to pick them up. After the helicopter takes off, a fighter jet shoots it down. The team scratches their heads and comes to the conclusion that they were meant to be in the helicopter that was shot down. So now they are on the run from the CIA operatives that sent them to Bolivia in the first place.

The CIA operatives are headed by Max who is on the take. He sets up the team to heist a billion dollars so Max can take the money and give it to the connection in Dubai, in order to buy a new weapon of mass destruction.

Max is played by Jason Patric who played Michael in the 80's film The Lost Boys. I didn't recognize Jason Patric in the role. He blended right into character.
