Maybe rent it if you have the time.

Rating: 5/10 (19 October 2010)

Bruce Willis, at the age of fifty-five, who is fifteen years off from the new official retirement age, and certainly doesn't look old takes on the burden of trying to carry on the wit that these characters are trying to do. Main problem. This movie thinks that it's a lot cooler than it actually is. It suffers from major reality pot hole glitches, but I guess that isn't much of a problem for an action movie, but whatever the case is, this movies tries to flow really fast and it's easy to keep up with it, but when you think about it, there is just a lot of stuff that quite frankly doesn't make sense. The Emmy award winning Parker who has made her career mainly off "Weeds" and "The West Wing" plays the girl that is kind of tagging along with the crew that are hardened by all the killings that they have done. Apparently she is like pure gold to Bruce, and the group is recognizing that there is a weak spot apparently in their leader. I didn't buy it. He is trying to maintain a witty cool the entire time and it didn't really work itself out that he is a caring and compassionate guy; he seems more interested in saving the girl and being the hero. The characters contrast each other so much, that it doesn't really give a variety at all; it just gives a polar opposite in situations, which instead of bringing worth more wit, it sort of just makes things unrealistic and sort of awkward.
Despite its top notch cast, "Red" suffers mainly from a script that brushes over to many pot holes and develops characters that do not entirely click with each other, a lot of people will probably have a good time at it. It's not a terrible movie; it's much more of a slower paced action movie and has some good acting. It isn't your everyday ordinary action thriller film due to its embracing of charm and wit. Whatever the case, you'd have a better time renting it than paying ten bucks for it.
