Bruce wills and his CIA pals set out to find out who is after them.

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2011)

I attend the opening weekend release of Red based on the graphic novel of the same name , rated pg 13 not meant for the kiddies This movie stars Bruce Willis a retired CIA who is bored with his hum drum life as retiree of the CIA.The team includes Joe Matheson(Morgan Freeman),Marvin Boggs(John Malkovich), Victoria (Helen Mirren) and Ivan (Brian Cox).
Bruce wills looks at home it this action comedy plays a retired CIA black ops agent (know as RED retired extremely dangerous). He is bored with his hum drum life,regularly rips up his monthly checks just so he can call the CIA pension office just to talk with the person in charge of his plan... played very well by Mary- Louis parker. He is set up for assignation from the higher ups in the CIA for what he knows about and old job assignment and his crew of ARRP assassin's were involved in back in the 80's.(I thought the CIA was supposed to be the good guys what gives here). He is hunted down by the CIA agent William cooper (Played very well by Karl urban) who is assigned by the higher ups to hunt down Bruce Willis and his pals. They come across a conspiracy theory involving VP of the United States, and Alexander Dunning (played by Richard Dreyfuss pulled of the villain role very well as nasty arms dealer).
Throughout the movie Bruce Willis and his band of aarp hit men travels across county to put clues together to find out why they want them dead. It a very well written movie and, the cast looks like they are having a lot of fun just acting like kids shootouts, kicking butt. They do a very good job with the traveling scenes. They don't keep it confined to one area. They travel across country and utilize various locations to add to the fun of the movie... I especially love john malkovich's as Marvin Boggs a crazy as a fox agent. John steals some scenes in the move that are just too funny to describe here. I like how they use post cards on the screen to tell the audience where they are heading.
I thought it was a fun movie, good casting. The best thing you can take from it a fun afternoon at the movies well worth your trip and 2 hrs out of your day. Plus age is just a number if you want to have fun.I give it 3 stars.
