Movie Review - RED

Released in 2010, RED was the surprise worldwide hit film of the year. Bruce Willis plays Frank Mosses, a retired CIA agent living out his remaining years in a boring superb collecting his government pension. The only highlight of his day, talking with Sarah (Mary Louis-Parker) from the government pension processing center. Frank's quite and boring life soon turns upside down when an extreme attempt to assassinate him fails and events from his past have put him, and Sarah, in danger.

Hot on Frank and Sarah's tail is the young CIA agent Cooper (Karl Urban) who heads the operation to stop Frank. Knowing he and Sarah are in danger, Frank reassembles his old team who have been living in hiding like Frank. Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Together, they've all been classified by the CIA as RED - Retired Extremely Dangerous. Together, the four highly skilled individuals will discover who is behind the recent events and uncover a long hidden scandal in the process. Richard Dreyfuss also play supporting roles Brian Cox in this action packed comedy.

Wait, did I say comedy?? The strength of RED, besides it's all star cast, is the perfect and unusual blend of comedic moments and action pack scenes. An action film, espionage tale, and a comedy all wrapped into one made RED a hit with fans and critics alike.

With RED 2 released this past Friday, now is a great time to get your hands on a copy of RED and get in on the fun and the action. As always, here is a link to the trailer.
