funny action movie featuring a great cast

Rating: 6/10 (2 July 2011)

This is a movie full of action, but above all, a movie featuring a cast of true stars, who we probably would like to see in better or other kinds of movie, but who prove that when actors are talented they can make even the silliest movie entertaining. In this case the actors are perfectly capable of interpreting the ironic mood of the picture, and the result is a movie with true laughable, funny moments. John Malkohvic is simply great, never seen Ellen Mirren with a high-tech gun in her hands, but always refined even in that role, Bruce Willis in his traditional role of a tough guy with a tender heart never disappoints, and Morgan Freeman, well, is always the great Morgan Freeman. Ageing actors (note also a 93-year-old Ernest Borgnine) who are not ashamed of getting old and on the contrary play ironically and intelligently with ageing roles, to prove also that nowadays there are not many younger performers reaching their high level of acting.
