Old People CAN be Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2010)

I was pleasantly surprised with this film. Yes, I did choose to see it but it was better than I expected. The movie has a good, easy to follow story, loads of action, humor, and a tad bit of romance.
Bruce Willis was the selling point for me to see this film originally but John Malkovich was great. He truly stole every scene he was in. I wish he were to get nominated for a Best Supporting Actor at The Acadamy Awards, but, knowing them, they'll nominate a bunch of dudes from movies we've never heard of. Morgan Freeman was good (as always) even though he only had about 15 minutes of screen time. Helen Mirren and Mary Louise-Parker were both very good as the femme fatale and Karl Urban did his usual "I'll look mad for the next 2 hours" routine that he also used in "LOTR 2 & 3", "The Bourne Supremacy", and "Star Trek". I also enjoyed the surprise appearances of Brian Cox and Richard Dreyfuss, who both played crucial roles in the film. Brian Cox is a real versatile actor and doesn't get the recognition that he deserves.
I'd recommend this movie to people 15 or older who enjoy, action-humor movies, old people, machine guns, or John Malkovich. Really hoping for a sequel (which Michael Caine and Jon Voight should audition for).
