Red

Rating: 8.0/10
Film Class: B
Genre: Action

If you're looking for a movie to destress, packed with senseless action scenes and witty/wacky lines and doesn't use up too much brain, Red is the movie for you. A retired black-ops agent is forced to come out of retirement after a failed attempt at his life. Gathering his old team, and hunting down the organisation that wants him dead, he must face the greatest challenge of any outstanding agent... his greatest liability, his new found love.

Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren makes a superb team of old school agents and this movie turned out much better than I had imagined. I was expecting something similar to The Expendables, it was equally as good (action packed and corny humor), but slightly more light-hearted compared to the former. And the best part about this movie is that they still had space to accomodate a decent storyline.

Red is just hands down cool and the casts really made this movie more than an old-school-actor movie... indeed... they were all still armed, still dangerous and they definitely still got it. Rocks!!!
