We just love it, even it was based on a comics ( I don´t like those movies based on comics, they change everything about it) and it´s a entretainment from the beggining to the end.
Frank Moses , a former black-ops CIA agent, is now living a quiet life in retirement. However, he begins to feel lonely and often chats on the phone with Sarah , a customer service agent working for Frank's pension office in Kansas City.
His life is disrupted when a hit squad raids his house in the middle of the night. Frank kills the assassins and, knowing they would have tapped his phone, goes to Kansas City to protect Sarah. She becomes Frank's reluctant companion while he tries to find out who is trying to kill him, and track down his old black ops team for help. Meanwhile, CIA agent William Cooper is assigned to hunt and kill Frank
John Mankovich is fantastic! Marvin Boogs , his character doesn´t exist on the comics but here, he makes it one of the best part of the movie. He is a extraordinary actor and this shows why. Mary-Louise Parker as Sarah is another gen of the movie. She isn´t one of my favourite actresses but here she is perfect, not to mention she was the best choice for the part and she and Willis fitted together perfectly.
Morgan Freeman, what can I say about him... just perfect! Hellen Mirren too. She is the best actresses of all time and playing Victoria, an international professional hit-woman. When she appeared, I got crazy! lol!
Red is an etraordinary and well made movie. if you read the story and don´t want to watch because it´s a bit different, change your mind and watch it, you´ll love the movie. If you didn´t read the story but fear it´s another comic-based movie, you are wrong! It´s one of 2010´s best action movie . After all, it´s doesn´t matter if you are retired or if you are old, Red shows elderly can kick some butts too and with style!
