My friends asked me to watch the movie Red. I had my doubts… but I am glad I went along with them.
The movie follows the Frank Moses, one of the CIA’s most impressive agents. He is now labeled RED (retired, extremely dangerous). Frank is struggling with the boring life of a retired agent, but a conspiracy drags him back into the world he is so familiar with.
Apparently some kind of atrocity occurred and a list of people are being hunted down and killed to cover up the crimes. Frank seems to be on the list since he is attacked by a group of assassins. He leaves his city, meets up with retired colleagues (who are extremely good at what they do) and a girl he met on the phone (a solid character but occasionally serves as comedic relief) and goes hunting for the truth.
Bottom Line – this movie is funny and action packed. Its interesting plot is accompanied by great acting. But there is no reason why a movie with so many great actors shouldn’t be awesome. Red is not the best action movie I’ve ever seen, but I would say that it’s the best action movie I’ve seen in 2010. I give it a 4/5.
