RED (2010)
Country: US
Technical: col/2.35:1 111m
Director: Robert Schwentke
Cast: Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, Rebecca Pidgeon, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss
Synopsis:
A retired CIA agent finds himself the target of death squads sent by the organisation, in an attempt to cover the tracks of the Vice-President in a covert Central American operation years previously.
Review:
A band of past-their-best actors prove their mettle against the younger generation, showing that when it comes to kicking butt they are still the best at what they do. Thus Bruce Willis gets called 'Grandpa' but still wins the lissome Miss Parker - you get the general idea. The only problem with this painlessly entertaining action black comedy is that the story makes little sense, but moves along quickly so that you hopefully don't notice. (A wanted man flies freely around the States and has no issues accessing funds for his counter operations, to give one example.) The acronym stands for Retired and Extremely Dangerous!
