RELEASE: 2010; GENERE: Science-Fiction/Fantasy; RUN-TIME: 1 hr, 51 mins; RATED: PG-13; STARRING: Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren; DIRECTED BY: Robert Schwentke;
REVIEW: Too sum it up as one person put it, “this is a daffy but enjoyable action-comedy that assembles some impressive oldie firepower.” It is rather fast-paced, provides an appropriate amount of action and ends up being a lot of fun. The performance of Malkovich is hilarious and though she could have used more lines, Helen Mirren’s performance as “hit girl” was well played and very much helped pull things together. Some critics have said that it is perfect for the AARP crowd. Well that’s what we are and we liked it. We both gave it a strong [3.5 Stars]
SYNOPSIS: Based on the cult D.C. Comics graphic novels by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED is an explosive action-comedy starring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren. Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA's top agents - but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. When former black-ops agent Frank Moses' idyllic life is threatened by a high-tech assassin, he reassembles his old team in a last ditch effort to survive. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
