action and that's it

Rating: 5/10 (11 January 2011)

Retired Extremely Dangerous is a good action movie. It's that kinda film that you expect to see if you want to just chill and get entertained. There are some quite impressive action scenes. Also there are some quite comical scenes which make you probably smile. But that's about it. A lot eye-catching mistakes can be seen. There are many plot holes too. It's like if you are not entertained that much, all you want to ask is why- questions or 'how is that possible' questions.
There are some superb actors around. Bruce Willis is good with his elegant and skilled character. He is definitely not retired. Others look solid but to see them do something totally different what we are used to see, like Helen Mirren shooting a machine gun on a party dress, is a little awkward.
Nevertheless, if you are bored and you want to get entertained by a fast-paced action movie, you could give this one a go.
