The comic-book adaptation "The Losers" drags you down to its level at gunpoint with its drooling fetishization of weaponry, its focus on Zoe Saldana in wee shorts, various and sundry assassinations designed with gamers in mind, and more rabid mistrust of the U.S. government than you'd find at a tea party fundraiser. For all its insidious slickness, the film is easier to take than, say, "Kick-Ass" or "V for Vendetta," both of which came to the screen saddled with misguided pretentions. No pretentions here.
