Red (2010)

Life has become mundane for Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) as he forces himself to adjust into the calm and peaceful lifestyle of a common residential citizen. His greatest pleasure comes in the form of an occasional friendly phone call to his favorite service representative Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker) who seems equally excited with his contact. But, what in this world could a retired U.S. Government Employee possibly have in common with a pretty young pension secretary?

Well, we are about to find out as Frank’s status somehow changes to RED.


I felt almost as bored at getting into this movie as Frank seemed at getting on with his everyday routine, but eventually the pace picked up as Frank thwarts an assassination attempt inside his home....

First lesson,,,, "Don’t Fuk with Grandpa!"

Now, his fantasy visit to Kansas City to meet Sarah in person, has become a personal rescue mission to save her and find out who is trying to kill them. But let’s face it, no girl likes a surprise visit from a stranger, inside her own home, even if he claims to be trying to save her life. HA!


Frank’s mission whisks us around the U.S. as he reunites with his former Black Op team. We get to meet Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), Ivan (Brian Cox), and Victoria (Helen Mirren) as they learn that Frank’s assailants are actually CIA Sanction and that each of their lives are in danger as well. Now it’s clear, the only way to survive is to break into CIA, meet Cooper (Karl Urban) Frank's replacement, find out who the target is, who the players are and how to take them down one by one. The problem is, it’s hard to tell who the bad guys really are.. Hard that is,, until you get them all together on the same floor face to face!


Although this movie starts out lost and dreadfully slow, stamina pays off with Duct-tape and Old Man ass kicking comedy and action.
