[Movie Review] RED 2010

Being a fan of Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman, I just couldnt pass up the opportunity to watch RED.



Heres a trailer to get you started.





I'll try to give you a short synopsis of the movie without spoiling too much of it for you.

Frank Moses (Bruce Willis), is a retired government employee, he has a crush on the phone operator who handles his pension payment. And it seems like his feelings are mutual. Everything is fine, and they go about their everyday life like usual, until one day, a hit squad is sent after Frank. Things then take an interesting turn, Frank decides to fight back. Bent of protecting his crush and getting to the bottom of this attack, Frank recruits his old friends (and enemies). With them, and his unwilling yet optimistic crush, they set out to put an end to the situation.

Directed by Robert Schwentke and starring Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, RED will not fail to entertain. Action packed yet retaining a humorous side, RED was a fun watch.  An awkward love story, with a large portion of danger, many twists. RED will keep you on the edge of your seat one second and send you bawling back in laughter the next. While most action movies are catered for the young and are easy to relate to (maybe), RED takes an "elder's" perspective of life. Being a young adult, seeing old people (no offence), being a part of so much action really didnt seem realistic to me, but who am I to talk, I was never an American spy, CIA or any of those like Frank was. While the movie uses a typical action-comedy plot, its interesting plot twists kept things fresh and interesting. RED won't be changing movie history, but expect it  to exceed in entertainment. All in all, I would recommend giving RED a watch, it wont leave a huge impact on your life, but it will make you weekend.
