"Your eyes are so beautiful"

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2018)

DC pulls more towards dark dramas, while Marvel strings action blockbusters that border with comedy. This time, DC beat Marvel on their ground. Although it is based on the graphic novel and it has traces of comic-book attributes, "RED" (Retired: Extremely Dangerous) doesn't have a comics-like atmosphere. It is an action-comedy with elements of romance, which is so entertaining and funny that the only reason I did not watch it in one breath was that I was constantly rewinding the scenes to see them again. Action scenes are well-staged, and the editing and effects do not lag behind. There are also great music and a totally awesome cast. Bruce Willis is, as usual, an irresistible charmer, whose character is called Moses and he's something between McClane from "Die Hard" and Jimmy from "The Whole Nine Yards". Mary-Louise Parker is luscious and has perfect chemistry with Willis. And when their support are legends such as Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Brian Cox, Helen Mirren, and Richard Dreyfuss, there is no doubt about the quality of the acting.

You know, if it is the CIA, then there's only one place we can go to find out why they're coming after us. We're gonna get killed there, for sure.
In or out?
No. Of course I'm in. I'm just saying.

8,5/10
