Retired and Extremely Dangerous

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2013)

"Frank Moses" (Bruce Willis) is a former CIA agent who specialized in "wet work". And he was very good at his job. But he is now retired and has developed a crush on a person named "Sarah Ross" (Mary-Louise Parker) who he has never met but helps him with his retirement check over the phone. One day a team of assassins are sent to kill him at his home and after killing all of them he realizes that his phone records might jeopardize Sarah. So he drives to Kansas City and kidnaps her. Along with that he gradually gets in contact with several other people he has worked with in the past to help him out. Naturally, all of them are just like him: Retired and Extremely Dangerous. Anyway, for an action-comedy this film turned out to be pretty good. Both Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker turned in decent performances but it John Malkovich (as "Marvin Boggs") who really stole the show as the paranoid agent who was subjected to LSD for 11 years. He was simply hilarious. That said, I liked this movie and I recommend it for those who enjoy films of this nature.
