Movie #335 "Red" stands for retired, extremely dangerous, and this sets up the movie really well --- it is funny, but violent. A very funny heist film that I didn't believe for one minute, but that's the fun of it. If it would be whimsical and fun for you to see academy award winner Helen Mirren wielding an RPG (rocket propelled grenade) in a beautiful white gown, you need to see this. A special mention should be made for the casting: Mary Louise Parker was a stitch as Willis' girlfriend, Morgan Freeman, wonderful, as always, but playing against type here, John Malkovich was the most memorable, being even goofier than he normally is --- but instead of stealing scenes, he just enhances them. REally, this was a lot of fun and I recommend it!

Red
(2010) PG-13
After trading in his professional past as a black-ops CIA agent for a new identity, Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is basking in normalcy. But he's forced to return to old habits when a shadowy assassin puts a target on his back and goes after the woman (Mary-Louise Parker) he loves. Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich co-star as former members of Moses's team who reluctantly reassemble to save his life.
