THE LOSERS GALLERY

Warner Bros. has released a complete gallery from The Losers movie, due in theaters on April 23.

Here's how the studio describes the movie:

"An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, The Losers centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team -- Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar--soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max.

"Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deep undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max. They are joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda, who is more than capable of scoring a few points of her own. Working together, when they're not arguing amongst themselves, they have to stay one step ahead of the globetrotting Max -- a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war for his own benefit. If they can take down Max and save the world at the same time, it'll be a win-win for the team now known as The Losers."
