Rather enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2010)

Well as far as espionage films go, this one was a bit more light hearted. To see retired agents back in the line of duty so to speak to stop an on going hit against those who worked for their own. Bruce Willis plays an agent who is declared by his peers as the best there is in the spy business. A man who can kill at the drop of a hat in an instant. At his side is a girl who he corresponds with during his retirement, only to be dragged into more deeper shenanigans as a dark and sinister man (dreyfuss) is pulling strings to stop Willis and his entourage from fulfilling their well trained duties. This film holds all aspects of action, humour, and to see legendary actors play together which adds to the wonderful flavor, that no matter how old you get, experience is key to show those young agents that are full of vinegar and extra strength wind not to screw with seasoned Red's. John Malkovich was also very enjoyable as the paranoid ex agent who still believes that satellites, Cell phones, and the internet is the cause of mans down fall. Excellent addition with Morgan Freeman. And a wonderful love tale between Helen Mirren and Brian Cox. The audience will adore this film, brilliant cast, brilliant movie.
