Old style butt kicking

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2011)

Red – Review My rating – 3/5
I'd like to call RED a comedy more than a thriller. Coz if you expect to see a thriller you will expect it to be serious. RED is not that serious thriller. True it has thundering big explosions and million rounds of ammunition released towards a house until it falls down but that's all doesn't seems to be 'that' serious.
RED has a league of retired special black ops team members kicking young people's butts. Maybe all the old dudes would love it if the world is like that. But in reality I don't think so. The plot is about Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) , a retired special ops member from CIA trying to get in to the roots of reasons why some people are trying to assassinate him and his old buddies. And I don't know how but his so called girl friend who he has fallen in love for her voice also thinks that it's a good idea to tag alone. Either she is completely dumb or insanely stupid or both.
So while Frank is on his 'quest' he gather few of his good old days assassination buddies to the ride and make a hell of a scenes in few places. He practically sneak in to the CIA like it's another usual government office (Along with his dumb/stupid girlfriend) to check on some of his old operation files. And then instantly plan and executive a massive kidnap plan which vice president of USA is the target. Don't get amused. It's a comedy after all. Especially when there is 'Rajini Kanth' style action all over I'd bet all my chips on Frank.
Packed with heaven high explosions and bullet exchanges time to time RED is not a bad movie after all. But it's not a good movie either. You decide!
