RED (2010)


A retired CIA super spook is suddenly listed RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous) and a whole load of bad things are dumped in his lap. A whole lot of star power in this comic made movie, good dialogue, the one fight scene is excellent and the gun battles are both outrageous and funny. Most the reviews say this movie is lukewarm, neither good nor bad. I disagree.. its like saying you cant eat the same thing every night you will get bored with it, and that's true, but there are things you eat more often than others. Your mouth isn't watering and you aren't all excited but that doesn't mean its not good. So whether its spaghetti or chicken with rice and broccoli, you get to a point where you just expect it to be good, and that sums this movie up pretty well. No way you are bored, don't smile or laugh, and there is no way you will think it was a waste of your time. This movie showcases a great deal of film talent that is now in their golden years. Mighty shoes for upcoming players to fill indeed. Recommended.

  1. This movie had one of the baddest movie scene. When Bruce enjects himself from a moving car, is able to just walk away, aim and shoot. Must say, I was just saying wow. Not a great movie, but definitely enjoyable!

  2. That was a pretty slick scene, the bumper missing his shin by an inch while he doesn't miss a beat.. pretty much sums up the movie that age and experience trumps youth and skill.
