It’s a mercenary kind of summer, with The Losers , The Expendables , and The A-Team all ripsnorting out of the studio gates with soldiers of fortune in the saddle. But of those three, there is a certain fraternal bond shared between The Expendables and The A-Team in particular — the kind of weird emotional ping that twins experience when something happens to one or the other, even miles away. Here, in Sylvester Stallone’s paramilitary adventure and Joe Carnahan’s pop-culture recycling binge, we have a perfect storm of ’80s recidivism and ’10s accessibility. And it’s worth studying the DNA samples handed over (via this week’s A-Team and Expendables trailers) to determine which film promises the purer thrill. Your results may vary — read on to find out.
