Malkovich steals it silently

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2011)

They're all great: Mirren, Willis, Freeman, but Malkovich just kills me with his little gestures. There was a scene with Dreyfuss that almost felt like Morgan Freeman was upset that Malkovich was there in the movie, stealing scenes with little effort. And a really nice surprise to see the like of Brian Cox and Mary Louise Parker. The main cop on the case did a great job (Urban?) and always nice to see the legendary Ernest Borgnine, I don't believe he's still in movies. How many of those guys are left that are still making appearances in movies? Martin Landau comes to mind. I'll probably send this review and then think of two or three more, but how many are still doing films? Bornine must be 90 years old by now. If you haven't seen RED yet, you should. It is obviously not realistic, like any movie with action, but hello! it's a movie, and a very enjoyable one at that. Great cast. Great supporting cast. A fun movie overall. It'll be a great rental. Don't know if there's room for a sequel, they'd need to bring in one or two additional 'pros' to make it work. Hopefully they'll leave well enough alone.
