" I'm Retired, not stupid "

Rating: Null/10 (8 August 2011)

During the Cold War, the two sides of the world did their level best to outguess the other, often times, they caused more confusion than not. From the hundreds of people who fought on either sides there were many who were often sacrificed for the good of the cause, only to discover that what they did, was unnecessary. Having wasted millions of dollars in a vain attempt to win for their flawed ideology, there was also the Human cost of the mindless and most assuredly useless endeavor. Therein lies the basis for this film written by Jon and Ereic Hoeber and directed by Robert Schwentke. It tells the story of a group of aging Secred Agents who find themselves retired. Case in point is that of retired Former agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) who one day discovers, someone is trying to kill him. He escapes assignation and flees from the gunmen. In the process, he singles out and kidnaps Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker) a lonely, but thrill seeking office worker. Together, they learn of a special Traget List scheduled for termination. Unable to find the killer squads on his own, Moses locates his former agents including Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman) former KGB agent Ivan Simanov (Brian Cox) and Gabriel Singer (James Remar). With special guest stars like Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine in key spots throughout the story, this action packed, deception filled, fast-paced and explosive laden movie makes for a terrific and exciting film destine to be a Classic. Great fun. ****
