Completely Underwhelming from Start to Finish

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2013)

If you're going to make a comedy farce then make a comedy farce; don't make a lousy action film and then try to masquerade it as a comedy. The first action sequence in Red is so over-the-top ridiculous that it went far beneath even the worst of the genre. And as far as comedies go this was second rate, at best.
When the Willis character finds out on the phone that his friend had died it would have been hilarious if the woman on the other end had said, "Sorry, Mr. Morgan Freeman decided to bail out of this piece of crap movie. You're on your own, baldy." I gave up on the movie a little after John Malkovich dropped in. Why would I care about what will next? With all of these people with so much experience involved in the making of this movie you have to wonder if it was a huge conspiracy or if they are all incapable of knowing good from lousy.
