RED (2010)
Directed by Robert
Schwentke this film based on the comic of the same name stars Bruce
Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovic and Helen
Mirren. A retired CIA black ops agent finds himself a hunted man by
his own agency.
Clearly the best thing
about this film is the cast which has some great strength in depth
with support from the likes of Brian Cox, Ernest Borgnine and Karl
Urban. The plot is fairly funny and light but never really manages to
capitalise on all the potential this film has. There are a number of
departures from the original comic which change the tone of the story
which is also a bit of a shame but there are worse ways to spend 2
hours than watching this film.
3/5
