    3 Stars Is it a comedy, a spy thriller or a spoof ? 03/12/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light hearted and some silly moments. Nice cast.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Script not up too much - mixed genres

    I went along to see RED a couple of weeks ago because the posters advertising the movie attracted my attention. Also, I quite like a bit of Bruce Willis and seeing that he is the same age as me I thought I would go and see just how well he is bearing up. His latest film is down as an action movie but I'm not so sure it is - the beginning and end are not what I expected and a little strange and very silly particularly the ending. The start of the film is more like a romantic comedy and after the first ten minutes I was a bit worried and thought the film was going to be naff. However, there is a ... more

    Advantages Advantages Above average comedy spy thriller

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Women watching action movies!

    Star - Bruce Willis RuN-TiMe - Genre - Action/comedy American Nomination - Golden Globe ----------------------------------- One of the most bizarre recognitions in this year's big award ceremonies would have to be a Golden Globe Best Film nomination for 'Red'. Not because it's a poor movie or anything but because it's well and truly in that twisty tongue-in-cheek action genre that rarely gets any attention (if you don't count the tiresome Lord of the Rings trilogy), but when done well can be extremely entertaining, as this is. A clue why can be found on the Internet Movie Database, the film ... more

    4 Stars A good bit of preposterous fun 07/08/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great explosions/special effects, entertaining, good cast

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A little cheesy, got a bit muddled trying to keep up with the different characters

    - Story - Frank moses is a retired black-ops agent, one of the best in the country and he now lives a rather boring life, his only real enjoyment being when he calls the government pension phoneline as he's able to get in touch with his case worker, Sarah, there. However, his rather boring life is suddenly interrupted as he becomes targeted by an assassin and he has to track down his old team of equally retired colleagues in an effort to escape from the assassins deadly grasp and uncover their identity. What the assassins don't realise, however, is that this team of retired ex-agents are ... more

    4 Stars Retired, Extremely Dangerous - Watched, Extremely Impressed 26/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages The cast (particularly Malkovich); direction and flow of film

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A slow quarter of an hour, but other than that no problems

    With action films flying out at us from all different directions, a bit of tongue in cheek action from some older generation actors is quite welcome. Bruce Willis heads up an older cast in this action tale where a team of ex CIA agents is targeted for no apparent reason. Heading off with his girlfriend (Mary Louise Parker) he rounds up his old crew consisting of Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and an excellently paranoid John Malkovich, and together they try and thwart and evade their attackers while finding out the truth behind why there is interest in them after so many years. The plot really ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A great cast lineup, some delicious effects and a decent storyline!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can seem to be misleading sometimes!

    (Film only review) Red Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), a former black-ops CIA agent, is now living a quiet normal everyday life in retirement. However, he begins to feel lonely and often chats on the phone with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a customer service agent working for Frank's pension office in Kansas City. Frank's life is disrupted when a hit squad raids his house at about 3am. Frank kills the assassins and, knowing they would have tapped his phone, goes to Kansas City to try protect Sarah. Sarah becomes Frank's reluctant companion while he tries and figures out who is trying to kill him ... more

    3 Stars "You've got some RED on you?" 13/05/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some nice action scenes, a wacky John Malkovich

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Disinterest from Bruce Willis, Lack of a gripping plot

    **FILM ONLY REVIEW**Based on a relatively obscure miniseries by DC Comics, RED tells the story of a group of retired CIA agents considered to be code RED, which means Retired: Extremely Dangerous. Having moved on from their exciting lives, the former spies have settled into more mundane existences until a conspiracy from their past threatens to drag them back into the world of espionage and danger. Bruce Willis stars as the lead character, Frank Moses, and spends most of the film perfecting that half-smile stare that he seems to use for his more recent action movies. It evokes a sense of 'too ... more

    5 Stars RED is fantastic 22/04/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great characters and storyline. John Malkovich is an advantage on his own

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I honestly can't think of a single one.

    RED is loosely based on a comic by Warren Ellis, as a fan of his work I decided this film was worth checking out. I was right, I love this film. RED follows retired CIA field agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) as he is made a target by the current administration, he must find out why and stop the scheme before he gets killed. The film has action, drama and romance. It manages true comedy whilst keeping you on the edge of your seat which is a hard balance to strike. The cast are phenomenal, John Malkovich as Marvin especially. He steals every scene he is in, sometimes without even saying a single ... more
