The A-Team

Problem solved


The A-Team
The big-screen version of the famous TV series features South Africa's Sharlto Copely as Murdoch. As per the series, four army veterans are falsely convicted of a crime they did not commit. They break out of jail and go underground, trying to clear their name while at the same time helping other people in trouble, and managing to stay one step ahead of the assorted law officials after them. Expect plenty of explosions.
