## Key points

- The plot centred on a convoluted counterfeiting scheme.
- Poor reviews and box office results stalled sequel plans.

## Summary

Liam Neeson said he found the plot of 2010’s The A-Team confusing when he watched it with his children, despite starring as Colonel Hannibal Smith. His reaction highlights how the film’s convoluted story worked against a reboot built around the original television series’ straightforward action appeal.

The film, directed by Joe Carnahan, also starred Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson. Its plot revolved around a complicated counterfeiting scheme involving rogue CIA figures and private military contractors; it received poor reviews and had a disappointing cinema run, leaving sequel plans on hold. Neeson told the Toronto Star in 2012 that he struggled to follow who was who and why, while his children understood it.
