suffers from the usual flaws but still a good time

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2010)

Slick, funny, well-cast action-comedy based on the graphic DC comic. Frank Moses (Willis) was one of the top agents of the CIA, but has long since retired and put the old life behind him. Unfortunately the past comes back to haunt him when he unexpectedly becomes the target of lethal black ops agents who've made it their mission to eliminate him. In a race against time, with his deadly adversaries in hot pursuit, he reunites his old team (Freeman, Mirren, Malkovich) in an effort to uncover the conspiracy. A few longueurs and some familiar plotting, but it's hard to miss with this cast, these energetic action scenes, and so many laughs. Parker seems out of place, but Malkovich has more fun than anyone as the cunning, yet extremely paranoid member of the group. **½
