Red provides Bruce Willis and an all-star cast in an entertaining thriller

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2010)

Just watched this action movie with some humor and romance with my movie theatre-working friend this afternoon. With stars like Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich (what a month he's having appearing in both this and Secretariat which we also enjoyed), Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss, and Ernest Borgnine (wow, in his 90s and still active), Red provided plenty of pleasures in the thrilling department while also slowing down enough to get you to know the characters and their backgrounds. And seeing many scenes from New Orleans-which happen to be a two-hour drive from where me and my aforementioned friend live-was an additional treat. Okay, I'm not sure if what I saw was organically logical from beginning to end, but nevertheless, me and my friend enjoyed Red immensely. So yeah, that's a recommendation.
