Fun action movie from a top shelf cast

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2015)

Red was a fun movie. Stylish and witty with a good mix of humour and action. Sure it's also ridiculous at times but it has its moments, how could it not with a cast this impressive.
Bruce Willis is always a good time and I enjoyed his relationship with Mary-Louise Parker, who is very funny here. "Worst first date ever." "I thought you'd have hair." He plays a retired hit man here who, along with his former colleagues try to find out why they've been targeted for death by their former organization.
Helen Mirren steals every ass kicking, classy dame, fancy dress wearing scene she's in, absolutely hilarious. And then we also get Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Richard Dryfuss and a very yummy Karl Urban.
Some great action scenes, several laughs and while it loses itself a bit along the way I was still satisfied. 7/15/13
