MOVIE REVIEW

Andy, now 17 years old, has outgrown his old toys and is preparing to move to college. He decides to take Woody with him and packs the other toys in a garbage bag, intending to store them in the attic, but Andy's mother mistakenly puts the bag out on the curb as garbage. Believing that Andy no longer wants them, the toys sneak into a box to be donated to Sunnyside Daycare. As the only toy who saw what really happened, Woody tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but the others refuse to listen. The toys are driven to Sunnyside where they receive a warm welcome from the daycare toys, led by Lotso the "Lots-O'-Huggin' Bear." Woody tries to convince the others to return to Andy, but they feel like they would be happier at Sunnyside, so they let him leave without them. The others soon discover the children Lotso assigned them with are too young, and they are innocently abused and tortured. Buzz  goes to ask Lotso to transfer them to the older children, but is instead caught by some of the Sunnyside toys and reset to his original, deluded space ranger self.

As he escapes Sunnyside, Woody is found and taken in by a girl from the daycare named Bonnie. Bonnie's toys reveal to Woody the truth about Lotso and Sunnyside: Lotso had once been owned by a child, but snapped after his owner lost and replaced him, so he took over Sunnyside and turned it into an Internment. At the daycare, the others discover that Andy is looking for them when Mrs. Potato Head sees him through her missing eye, which was lost in Andy's room. The toys try to leave but are imprisoned by Lotso and his henchmen, including Buzz in his demo mode. Woody returns to Sunnyside to help his friends break out. They accidentally reset Buzz to his Spanish mode during the escape, after which he joins their side (believing they know where his spaceship is) and begins openly flirting with Jessie. The toys use a garbage chute to reach a dumpster outside the daycare, but Lotso and his henchmen catch them. Woody and Ken convince Big Baby, Lotso's chief enforcer, of Lotso's treachery, so he throws Lotso in the dumpster. However, Lotso pulls Woody into the dumpster just before a garbage truck arrives, forcing the others to rescue him. In the chaos of falling rubbish, Buzz rescues Jessie from being crushed, which results in a broken TV falling on him, resetting him to normal, with no memory of his other modes.

The truck takes the toys to a dump where they are forced onto a conveyor belt for disposal. Woody helps Lotso and the others escape a shredder, but Lotso leaves them to die in an incinerator. As the toys accept their imminent demise and join hands, they are rescued by a giant claw crane operated by the squeeze toy aliens, while Lotso is found by a garbage man and tied to the front of a truck, to his dismay. The toys return to Andy's house on a garbage truck and prepare to be stored in the attic, but Woody decides he and his friends would better serve their purpose elsewhere, he leaves a note to Andy suggesting he donate his toys to Bonnie. Together with Bonnie, Andy plays with his toys one more time before he leaves for college, as Bonnie waves Woody's hand at him in farewell as Andy drives away. As Woody and Buzz and the rest of the toys begin their new life with Bonnie, the camera pans up to the final shot of the film: A bright blue sky, the clouds forming a familiar pattern - the wallpaper seen in Andy's childhood bedroom in the opening scene of the first film.

As the credits roll, another box full of donated toys arrives at the now Lotso-less Sunnyside. Among them is the Emperor Zurg toy from the previous movie. It is revealed that with Lotso gone, the conditions for new arrivals has vastly improved. The toys now take turns putting up with the younger children's abuses rather than forcing a certain group to put up with all of it.

MOVIE REVIEW

12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) and his mother (Taraji P. Henson) arrive in Beijing from Detroit to start a new life. Dre develops a crush on a young violinist, Mei Ying (Wen Wen Han), who reciprocates his attention, but Cheng, a kung fu  prodigy whose family is close to Mei Ying's, attempts to keep them apart by beating Dre, and later harassing and humiliating him in and around school. During a particularly brutal beating by Cheng and his friends, the enigmatic maintenance man of Dre's building, Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), comes to Dre's aid, revealing himself as a kung fu master who adeptly dispatches Dre's tormentors.

After Han mends Dre's injuries using fire cupping, they go to Cheng's teacher, Master Li (Yu Rongguang), to attempt to make peace, but the brutal Li, who teaches his students to show no mercy to their enemies, challenges Dre to a fight with Cheng. When Han declines, Li threatens him, saying that they will not be allowed to leave his school unless either Dre or Han himself fights. Han acquiesces, but insists the fight take place at an upcoming tournament, and that Li's students leave Dre alone until the tournament. The amused Li agrees.

Han begins training Dre, but Dre is frustrated that Han merely has Dre spend hours taking off his jacket, hanging it up, dropping it, and then putting it back on again. After days of this, Dre refuses to continue, until Han explains to him that the repetitive arm movements in question were Han's method of teaching Dre defensive block and strike techniques, which Dre is now able to display instinctively when prompted by Han's mock attacks. Han emphasizes that the movements Dre is learning apply to life in general, and that serenity and maturity, not punches and power, are the true keys to mastering the martial arts. During one lesson in the Wudang Mountains, Dre notices a female kung fu practitioner (Michelle Yeoh, in an uncredited cameo[4]) copying the movements of a cobra before her, but Han informs him that it was the cobra that was imitating the woman, as in a mirror reflection. Dre wants Han to teach him this technique, which includes linking Han's hand and feet to Dre's via bamboo shafts while practicing their forms, but Dre's subsequent attempt to use this reflection technique on his mother is unsuccessful.

As Dre's friendship with Mei Ying continues, she agrees to attend Dre's tournament, as does Dre her upcoming recital. After sharing a kiss at an outdoor festival, Dre persuades Mei Ying to cut school for a day of fun, but when she is nearly late for her violin recital, which has been rescheduled for that day, Mei tells him that her parents have deemed him a bad influence, and forbid her from spending any more time with him.

When Dre finds mr. Han despondent, he learns that it is the anniversary of his wife and son's deaths, which occurred years ago when he lost control of his car while arguing with his wife. Dre reminds Han that one of his lessons was in perseverance, and that Han needs to heal from his loss, and tries to help him do so. Han then assists Dre in writing a note of apology to Mei Ying's father, who, impressed, allows Mei to attend the tournament.

At the tournament, the underconfident Dre is slow to achieve parity with his opponents, but soon begins to beat them, and advances to the semifinals, as does Cheng, who violently finishes off his opponents. Dre eventually comes up against Liang, another of Master Li's students, who is instructed by Master Li to break Dre's leg. When Liang insists that he can beat Dre, Master Li sternly tells him that he doesn't want him beaten, but broken. During the match, Liang delivers a devastating kick to Dre's leg, along with a series of brutal follow-up punches. Although Liang is disqualified for his illegal strikes, Dre is incapacitated, which means Cheng will win by default.

Despite Han's insistence that he has earned respect for his performance in the tournament, and that he needs to learn when to walk away from a fight, Dre convinces Han to use his fire cupping technique to mend his leg, in order to see the tournament to the end. Dre returns to the arena, where he confronts Cheng. Dre delivers impressive blows, but Cheng counters with a debilitating strike to Dre's already injured leg. Dre struggles to get up, and adopts the one-legged form he first learned from the woman on the mountain, attempting to use the reflection technique to manipulate Cheng's movements. Cheng charges Dre, but Dre flips, and catches Cheng with a kick to his head, winning the tournament, along with the respect of Cheng and his classmates, both for himself and Mr. Han.

Movie Review

The film opens with shots showing Veeraiya (Vikram) jumping off a cliff into the water. His gang is busy distracting the police. Police vehicles are set ablaze and women seduce policemen into a trap whereby Veera's henchmen attack. The policemen are ruthlessly murdered. Raagini (Aishwarya Rai), whilst on a boating trip, is kidnapped by Veera. Dev Prakash (Prithviraj), her husband and a senior police officer, is informed of the incident.

A brief montage of sorts showcases the story of Veeraiyya. He is seen as a local hero, who runs a parallel govt in areas near Tirunelveli, with his brothers - Singarasu (Prabhu Ganesan) and Sakkarai (Munna). Though considered a terrorist by the local police, Veeraiyya is repected by the villagers. He kidnaps Raagini hoping to avenge the death of his sister Vennila (Priyamani).

Dev and his team enter the forests with the aid of Gnanaprakasam (Karthik Muthuraman)- a local forest guard. Gnanaprakasam plays the role of Hanuman from the traditional epic. Despite searching deep in the forests, Dev is unable to hunt down Veera.

Meanwhile, Raagini develops feelings for Veera after she hears the story of his sister's death. Dev had led an encounter against Veera during Vennila's wedding. Dev's shot grazes Veera in the neck. Veera is led out of the fiasco by his gang. The police pressurize Vennila into revealing Veera's hideout. When she refuses, she is subjected to physical and sexual assault. Veera returns home to find Vennila distraught and traumatised. The next day, Vennila commits suicide by drowning in a nearby well.

Unhappy with the way his brother is leading a war causing distress to his gang, Sakkarai decides to offer a truce to Dev. Dev initially seems to agree, but when Sakkarai comes out in the open, Dev shoots him to death- thus revealing that he considers the destruction Veera being more important than saving his wife.

Veera and Singarasu are enraged and attack Dev's camp and wipe it out completely. A final confrontation between Veera and Dev takes place on a rickety bridge - where Veera triumphs over Dev - when he decides not to let Dev die. He tells Dev he is letting him live because of his wife. Dev manages to extricate himself out and finds Raagini bound and tied up - with Veera leaving her.

However - Dev is not entirely happy and while returning to their hometown of Mettukudi, Dev accuses Raagini of infidelity and informs her that it was Veera who told him so. Furious, Raagini leaves Dev to meet Veera through Singarasu. She manages to meet him and asks him why he had accused her of doing so. Veera tells her he said that he had protected Raagini safely for all the fourteen days and not anything else. He quickly realizes that Dev lied, hoping Raagini would lead him to his hideout.

Dev appears with a police team and confront the duo. Raagini tries to save Veera, but he pushes her out of the line of fire. He is shot multiple times, whereby he falls off the cliff. The touching climax of the movie ends with Ragini's true feelings coming to surface where she is seen trying with whole might to save Veera. Veera, content that Raagini has feelings for him, falls to his death with a smile.

MOVIE REVIEW

Dominic "Dom" Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) washes up on a beach, where he is detained by armed Japanese men. Cobb and Arthur appear in front of Saito (Ken Watanabe). They are on an extraction mission. Cobb finds what should be the information they are looking for, but discovers the information is incomplete - Saito is aware of the deception and has redacted a paragraph from the document. Aware that he has been deceived, Saito uses his subconscious to cause the dream to collapse, aided by the mysterious Mal (Marion Cotillard). He awakens to find himself in his secret hideout as an angry mob close in. He tells Cobb his deception was obvious, but becomes impressed with Cobb once he discovers he is still dreaming - he feels a rug on the floor which is made of the incorrect material. The mission is aborted and everyone is awoken. Cobb and Arthur blame Nash for failing to design the hideout's rug with the correct material. The team splits up and leaves in order to evade capture by Cobol Engineering; it is later revealed that Cobol put a price on Cobb's head. Cobb and Arthur meet up in a Tokyo hotel and try to leave from the roof via helicopter, but as they are about to enter the helicopter, they are confronted by Saito. Saito has Nash in his custody and tells Cobb and Arthur their architect betrayed them by offering Saito their whereabouts in return for clemency. Saito offers Cobb a handgun to kill Nash, but he refuses. Saito has his men take Nash away; although the businessman promises not to hurt Nash, he cannot guarantee that Cobol Engineering will not.

Despite their attempt at extraction, Saito acts cordial to Cobb and Arthur and asks them to perform the act of inception - secretly implanting an idea in the mind of a person. Although Arthur claims it cannot be done because the mind will always recognize an idea that is not its own, Cobb believes that inception is possible and is will to hear Saito out. Their target is Robert Fischer (Cillian Murphy), the son of Saito's terminally ill corporate rival Maurice Fischer (Pete Postlethwaite). The objective is to make Fischer dismantle his father's empire to prevent it from becoming a global monopoly and running Saito out of business. Cobb and Arthur accept the offer and Saito instructs them to find a better architect. Cobb travels to Paris to meet Miles, his mentor and father-in-law, who is a professor of architecture at a university. Miles introduces him to Ariadne (Ellen Page), a student he claims is even better than Cobb. Cobb introduces Ariadne to the world of the shared dream and teaches her the fundamental rules that govern the dreamscape. After being attacked by an apparition of Mal, Ariadne refuses to take part, but is drawn back by the appeal of pure, intuitive creation. As Arthur teaches her the more-intricate principals of the dreamscape, Cobb travels to Mombasa to recruit Eames (Tom Hardy), a forger who shifts identities inside dreams. They also meet Yusuf (Dileep Rao), a chemist who develops the sedatives needed to enter the dreamscape.

Ariadne, suspicious of Cobb and the apparitions of Mal, follows Cobb into the dream world where she finds Cobb has built a realm entirely of his memories over the course of decades. After witnessing the moment Cobb realizes he is forced to abandon his children, Ariadne flees to a memory of a hotel room. Cobb reveals that he and Mal had spent time in the shared dream together, building an entire world of their own. However, upon exiting the dream, Mal became convinced that she was still dreaming, and committed suicide to escape back to reality. She attempts to convince Cobb to follow her, and when he refuses, she stages the hotel room to look like a fight had occurred and reveals she has sent a letter to their attorney, claiming that she was afraid for her life at Cobb's hands and thus forcing Cobb to flee the United States. In return for successfully completing inception inside Fischer's mind, Saito is promises to clear the charges and reunite Cobb with his children. Cobb reveals that he can no longer dream without entering the dreamscape, and that he cannot build within the dream world because doing so would reveal the exact details of the dreamscape to his subconscious, and therefore his projection of Mal.

Eames deconstructs the idea the team wishes to plant in Fischer's mind to its simplest form and builds a plan around it based on Fischer's complex relationship with his father. The plan requires the use of several "levels" of dream, with each one representing a deeper level of Fischer's subconscious. When Fischer's father dies, the team join him on a flight from Sydney, drugging him and drawing him into the world of the dream. Yusuf is the host of the first dream, a city in the midst of a downpour (the result of Yusuf having a full bladder when entering the dream world). Whilst in the process of abducting Fischer, the team are attacked by a mercenary force, a projection of Fischer's subconscious and Saito is seriously injured. Cobb is angry that Arthur - charged with researching their target - missed the fact that Fischer had training to prevent extractors breaking into his mind. The team want to abort the mission, but Cobb reveals that it is not possible: because of the complexity of the drugs involved and the use of several layers of dreams within dreams, dying within the dreamscape will not return them to the waking world, but condemn them to a state of limbo where they are unable to establish the difference between reality and the dream, and so are trapped. They have no choice but to delve further into Fischer's subconscious, with the new layers of the dream state minimizing Saito's injuries.

Eames assumes the identity of Peter Browning (Tom Berenger), Fischer's godfather who he refers to as "Uncle Peter", to try to extract information from him. Fischer claims that he has no knowledge of Browning's claims, that Ficher the elder had a safe in his office that contained his Last Will and Testament, one that would override his existing one and cut his son out of his inheritance. After Fischer refuses to reveal the safe combination, the team board a van and drug Fischer before entering the second dream, a hotel hosted by Arthur. Yusuf does not enter the second dream so as to protect the team from Fischer's subconscious. There, they adopt the risky strategy of telling Fischer that he is in a dream, manipulating him into believing that the team are the projections of his subconscious and that his actual projections are extractors sent after him. Earning Fischer's trust, they convince him that the kidnapping in the first dream was orchestrated by Browning in an attempt to get his hands on Fischer's empire. Their plan is to enter "Browning's" subconscious to find out the contents of the safe, but in reality they enter deeper into Fischer's. Like Yusuf, Arthur does not enter the next dream in the sequence.

The third dream, hosted by Eames, is in a snowbound fortress high in the mountains. While Saito and Fischer enter the compound, Eames busies himself with stopping Fischer's subconscious from attacking. Ariadne and Cobb stay behind to watch over the scene and prevent Mal from interfering. However, Saito's injuries from the first dream slow him down and Eames cannot hold off the subconscious forever. Saito and Fischer make it to the safe - represented by a large vault - before Saito expires, and Mal appears within the fortress, killing Fischer and sending him to limbo before he can enter the vault despite Cobb's efforts to prevent her from doing so. With everything riding on Fischer finding out the contents of the vault, Ariadne proposes the risky strategy of entering limbo and retrieving Fischer. The fourth dream, hosted by Cobb, is limbo, represented by the city he created with Mal as it steadily collapses into the ocean. Cobb and Ariadne journey through the wasteland to find Mal in the deepest levels of his subconscious. When confronted by the vision of his dead wife, Cobb reveals that he knows why inception is possible: while experimenting with the dreamscape, Mal had not wanted to leave, and so Cobb had planted an idea in her mind that she was living in a dream world with the intention of prompting her into waking up. His plan succeeded better than he had intended, because when she woke up, Mal was still convinced she was dreaming, leading to her suicide. As Ariadne locates Fischer and escapes, Cobb accepts that Mal is dead and any reflection of her within the dream world will not replace her. Cobb stays behind to locate Saito and bring him back to reality as Saito is Cobb's only chance of returning home. Meanwhile, Fischer is able to return to the fortress and enter the vault where he finds his father on his deathbed and a safe that contains a paper pinwheel he had made as a boy. Fischer senior tells his son that he was disappointed Robert had tried to be like his old man, and instead implores him to live his own life however he chooses, thus successfully completing inception.

The team's exit strategy depends upon the use of a "kick", a sensation of falling or a sharp jolt to startle the person awake. In order to escape back to reality, the team plan on staging a series of concurrent kicks, timed precisely to awaken them in reality from the deepest level of Fischer's subconscious. The team use a recording of the song Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, played to the host of the dream to warn the team that a kick is imminent. The first kick is to come when Yusuf drives his van off a bridge. The second kick comes when Arthur detonates explosives under the team's hotel room, causing them to fall down. The third kick comes from Eames planting high explosives around the fortress, causing it to collapse. The final, unplanned kick in the limbo realm comes when Ariadne throws Fischer from a balcony and jumps after him. However, things take a turn for the worse when Yusuf is trapped on a bridge with an armed mercenary, and he is forced to start his kick early. This creates a problem for Arthur, because the physical world can impact upon the dream state. As the van falls from the bridge, the hotel experiences a state of zero gravity, thus making the plan to make the floor collapse impossible. Arthur moves the team to the elevator where he uses explosives to propel the elevator up the shaft to the roof, where the sudden change in direction will cause everyone to wake simultaneously. At the fortress, Eames' explosives go off, causing a tower to collapse with the team inside. They wake up in the hotel as the elevator changes direction, causing a kick and waking them up inside Yusuf's van as it hits the water below, sending them back to the trans-Pacific flight.

Cobb stays in limbo as Saito had succumbed to his injuries, so he must find him. The film returns to the first scene in which Cobb locates an aged Saito (his 'dying' had placed him even deeper into the dreamworld, where time flows even more slowly than the other three layers above him, and had aged considerably in the brief time since his 'death') and tells him that they need to escape back to reality. Saito picks up a handgun in order to shoot himself and wake up. Cobb suddenly awakens to find everyone on the plane, including Saito, up and well. Saito honors their arrangement and Cobb enters the United States, reunited with his children at home. Cobb spins the top to test reality, but is distracted by his children. The top begins to wobble, but the scene cuts to the credits which leaves the question of whether Cobb is still dreaming.

Movie Review

Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is a geeky teenager who wonders why nobody has ever decided to become a superhero like the ones in the comic books, so he decides to become a real-life superhero himself, despite having no superpowers  or training of any kind. During his first attempt to fight crime by attempting to stop two local thugs from breaking into a car, Dave is beaten, stabbed, and hit by a car. He convinces paramedics to say nothing of his costume, making them say he was brought in naked, and spends several weeks in the hospital. Some of Dave's nerve endings become damaged, giving him a slightly enhanced capacity to take pain and metal plates are placed in his skeleton to sustain his bones. After a painful recovery, Dave returns to school only to find out that his longtime crush, Katie Deauxma (Lyndsy Fonseca), is surprisingly interested in him, but only because she thinks he is gay, after hearing a rumour caused by the belief that he was found naked: since everyone believes he was naked, they believe that his muggers must have raped him. Dave goes along with this in an effort to spend time with her.

Undeterred by his earlier setback, Dave continues to patrol the streets following his recovery. One night, he comes upon a gang fight and defends the single fugitive from his three attackers. A bystander records the event, as well as Dave calling himself "Kick-Ass". The video becomes a YouTube phenomenon, and Dave sets up a MySpace account so people can contact Kick-Ass.

Katie tells Dave that she is being harassed by a drug dealer, so he convinces her to ask Kick-Ass for help. Kick-Ass tracks down the drug dealer at his abode to deliver a warning, but is subdued by the dealer's henchmen, who appear intent on killing him. He is then rescued by child costumed vigilante Hit-Girl (Chloë Moretz), who kills his attackers and then leaves with her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage). They later track down Kick-Ass, informing him that they can work together, and they will keep in contact.

Big Daddy is then revealed to be Damon Macready, a former cop who was framed by local crime syndicate leader Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong). While Damon was in prison, his wife overdoses on sleeping pills and dies shortly after giving birth to their daughter, Mindy. After his release, Damon trained Mindy to fight crime as Hit-Girl and himself to become Big Daddy.

Believing Kick-Ass to be responsible for several deaths and theft of drug money within his organization, D'Amico orders his men to find and eliminate him. After D'Amico kills an imposter dressed as Kick-Ass, his son, Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), suggests a different approach. Chris will pose as a superhero named Red Mist to trick Kick-Ass into trusting him, and lead him into a trap. Red Mist meets Kick-Ass, bringing him to D'Amico's warehouse to "ambush" his men. Instead, they find the building on fire with everyone inside dead. Red Mist retrieves surveillance footage which shows that Big Daddy is responsible.

Realizing the seriousness of his situation, Dave wants to quit being Kick-Ass. He tells Katie the truth, and she forgives him and becomes his girlfriend. Sometime later, Dave finds urgent messages from Red Mist, requesting they meet, and to find Hit Girl and Big Daddy. Kick-Ass leads Red Mist to one of the Macready's safe houses, with D'Amico's men following. Red Mist shoots Hit-Girl, knocking her out a window. Big Daddy and Kick-Ass are captured and taken to a warehouse to be tortured in a live Internet broadcast. Kick-Ass and Big Daddy are severely beaten, and Big Daddy is set on fire, when Hit Girl, who survived the gunshot by wearing a bulletproof vest, arrives and kills the gangsters. Big Daddy is badly burned and dies from his injuries after having a tender moment with his daughter. Kick-Ass tries to convince Hit-Girl to quit, but she plans to finish what her father had started, and Kick-Ass reluctantly agrees to help.

Posing as a schoolgirl, Mindy enters D'Amico's headquarters and nearly kills all the henchmen in the penthouse, but runs out of ammunition and is cornered. Just as one of D'Amico's thugs is about to shoot her with a bazooka stolen from Macready's safe house, Kick-Ass, armed with a jet pack fitted with Gatling guns that Big Daddy had purchased prior to his death, kills the remaining men. He then takes on Red Mist and they knock each other out. Hit-Girl fights D'Amico, but she is eventually overwhelmed. As D'Amico is about to shoot Hit-Girl, a revived Kick-Ass fires the bazooka, blasting D'Amico out of the window where he explodes in mid-air. Red Mist comes around just to find Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl escaping with the jet pack.

Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass retire from crime fighting to live a more normal life. Mindy, now in the custody of Damon's ex-partner Sergeant Marcus Williams, enrolls at Dave's school. Dave explains a new wave of superheroes have been inspired by his endeavor. In the final shot we see Red Mist donning a new mask and declaring war on the new hero population with the words, "A world full of superheroes, huh? As a great man once said, 'Wait'll they get a load of me'."[6]

Movie Review

Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar are members of an elite United States Special Forces team sent into the Bolivian  jungle on a search and destroy mission. They attempt to abort due to children at the target site. The team finds itself the target of a betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. With an air strike minutes away the team breach the compound and rescue the children. The team allow the children to be airlifted to safety aboard a waiting helicopter but it is destroyed by a missile intended for them. Presumed dead and without passports or money the team are stuck in Bolivia. The group makes plans to even the score when they're joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with rather sly moves. Together they track and follow the ruthless and heavily armed and guarded Max to foil his plans of transforming the world as we know it into a new high-tech global battleground. Aisha agrees to smuggle the men back into the United States  if they agree to hunt down and kill Max in what she describes as essentially a suicide mission. An operation to intercept and capture Max in Miami is planned. The mission goes well but instead of Max they only retrieve a hard drive containing valuables Max needs to make his next arms deal. Even with this they can't find him because they do not have the code needed to get into the drive.

Max intends to purchase the latest high tech weapon, an environmentally friendly bomb called a snuke with the power of a nuclear weapon but with no contamination or fall-out. He intends to use it to start a war for the benefit of the United States of America. Back at the losers base, Jensen is looking up his nieces next soccer competition, and Pooch is watching his pregnant wife shop for groceries. Roque walks in and wonders what the guys are doing. Jensen comments that their target from back when they were in Bolivia has 400 million dollars missing. He finds out that it is not really missing but it actually went to a trust fund to his only child, Aisha. In the next room Aisha and Clay are laying in bed. She tries to get information on the mission back in Bolivia, but before she finds out if Clay really killed her father or not the gang bust in on them telling Clay who she really is. Aisha shoots Jensen in the arm during the firefight but manages to escape.

The group is betrayed by Roque, who had been working with Max since the Miami mission. Aisha ends up coming in and saving everyone from being executed, but lets Clay know that their fight is not over yet. Roque is killed along with Wade in a collision between Roque's get away jet and Wade on his motorcycle. Ultimately Max escapes, but without money, muscle, or any equipment at all, and is actually mugged on a city bus. Max calls the Losers to taunt them, saying they are back where they started but Clay replies that at least they now know what Max looks like.

Seemingly as a last mission, the Losers (now including Aisha) appear on a stormy night. Pooch scales the wall of a building which turns out be a hospital as he reunites with his wife and new son.

After the beginning of the credits, the Losers attend a Petunias soccer game against the Marigolds. The Marigolds are apparently playing rough and elbowing Jensen's niece. Jensen runs onto to the field and argues with the ref, having to be restrained and pulled off the field by the rest of the Losers.
