I liked some of the things that they did in the A Team movie, but some of it fell a little flat. Murdoch was cast well, though.
But I think that the likes of you and I suffer a bit from having seen the original #USTelly series.
So it's probably good if it doesn't even try to follow the telly show.
And I suspect that it also helps that stunt people don't date as fast as Vietnam War veterans and futuristic helicopters do.
