Rating: 8/10 (25 January 2014)

An all-star cast, brilliant writing and top-notch special effects, what else can you want from an action film? Red is the perfect action film that strays between the lines of dark comedy and action thriller. Big names such as Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren headline this epic action comedy, all taking on distinctive character roles and creating memorable performances. Bruce Willis takes on the role of Frank Moses, a retired CIA agent who is now being hunted by the government because he is "R.E.D", Retired and Extremely Dangerous. He meets up with his witty pension agent and reunites with his old band of ex-agents to counter-attack the plot against them. John Malkovich does a fantastic job as an LSD ridden ex-agent who's eccentric ways and mannerisms provide the majority of the film's comic relief. Helen Mirren plays a savvy sniper, who is classy but dangerous when it comes to her missions. Morgan Freeman makes an appearance as an ex-agent that still packs a punch. The film is based off a comic series of the same name and has elements of it in the film. The fighting sequences are intricate and fast paced. If you love guns, big guns and really big guns, this is the movie for you. Extensive gunfights and car chases leave the viewer riveted to their seat. The non-stop action and perfect one-liners make R.E.D an instant action classic and an epic adventure.
