R.E.D.

Four former CIA agents, each living out their golden years have been suddenly targeted by their former employer as retired and extremely dangerous.  In an effort to understand the madness and to stay alive the four come out of retirement to set the record straight.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie.  It is funny.  Not overly memorable, but it made me laugh.  The casting is what really clinches it.  John Malkovich is brilliant.  Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren are great too.  They all just bring something really fun to the story.

Speaking of story.... this one does tend to drag.  Like most action films it has a lull at about the 90 minute mark only to pick up and then go on for about 25 minutes longer than needed.

Nevertheless, it was still kind of a fun night at the movies.

** 1/2 Worth Seeing


Rated PG-13 (for language and violence)
