What do Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and Morgan Freeman Have in Common?

I had no expectations going in to watching RED. I came out thoroughly enjoying the romp, the funnies and the action. Not to mention the all-star cast! This is a great action-comedy.


Image: Summit EntertainmentMicro summary: Retired black-ops CIA agents (RED stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous), including Frank (played by Bruce Willis), find themselves the target of mysterious hit squads. What ensues is a funny, action-packed race to discover who is trying to kill them.

Coolest Parts:
~ All-star cast! Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Karl Urban and Mary-Louise Parker. Wow!!
~ Some awesome action and great comedy.
~ Scenes with John Malkovich's crazy, paranoid character are hilarious.
~ Karl Urban is amazing as the bad guy and delicious!

Wanted more of:
~ Nothing. I thought the pacing was good and the characters were great.



Romance factor:
~ Frank (Bruce) and his reluctant heroine, Sarah (Mary-Louise) have a humorous romance involving kidnapping, ropes and duct tape.
~ Victoria (Helen) even has a little touch of romance as well (all I'll say is ex-Russian secret agent...who'd she'd shot in the past).



Watch if you like:
~ Action mixed with comedy
~ Amazing actors having fun!
~ A super funny romance
~ Karl Urban
~ If you're looking for a Friday night movie to satisfy the men and the ladies!

By the way, RED 2 is scheduled for release August 2013. The all-star cast is back with some new additions including Catherine Zeta-Jones and Anthony Hopkins.
