RED

3 out of 5 Stars



RED. Retired Extremely Dangerous. But then the retired agents come out of retirement because the government is trying to cover their tracks for a mishap in Guatemala that the agents knew about. Know these agents must find a way to survive. On top of this one of the agents has met a girl so now they must protect her as well. Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Morgan Freeman star in this action thriller.

For the most part this movie is fun. There is a lot of over the top (and completely unrealistic) explosions, super fun fight scenes, and some good wit. But only about the first half of the film really moves well. Then it just starts to really drag. But what really makes this movie worth watching is John Malkovich. Without his character there really isn't much to be saved from this movie other than the fun of fights and explosions. Bruce Willis definitely gives far from his best performance and Morgan Freeman just isn't in the movie enough. Overall it was enjoyable but only an alright film.
