Synopsis:
Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA's top agents - but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. Now framed or assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
Movie Review:Make way for the geriatric spy thriller "Red" in which such heavyweights as Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman), HRH the Queen (Helen Mirren) and John Malkovich (John Malkovich) refuse to act their age and mix it up for fun and hijinks with bona fide action hero Bruce Willis.
You can imagine why Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss and Brian Cox would welcome a chance to slum it and shoot off a few rounds with high-powered machine guns. What sexagenarian doesn't dream of being James Bond or Angelina Jolie, if only for a couple of hours?
The more intriguing question is, what demographic wants to watch them indulge their fantasies, when their younger counterparts are fighting fit and probably playing at the screen next door?
Of course it helps that Willis is center stage -- he seems to have been 55 for at least a decade and never lets it cramp his style. Here he's black ops agent Frank Moses, whose top secret file is stamped RED: Retired, Extremely Dangerous.
You would think that even the CIA would see that Bruce still had a few bullets left in his chamber. Instead, he's kicking his heels, puttering about the house and looking for another excuse to call Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), the chatty, bored bureaucrat responsible for his pension checks. Even though they've never met, she's the nearest thing Frank has to a girlfriend.
I guess that would be why the first thing he does, after making short work of the deadly assassination squad that descends on his home in the middle of the night, is to drive several hundred miles to kidnap Sarah. See, it's for her protection -- all those phone calls are bound to raise the suspicions of his assailants. It's not just the cast that's old.
iReport: "Red" gets a 3 out of 5
Amazing the contortions writers will go through to get onto the most well-beaten track! The spy taking a civilian on the run. Didn't we see that in "Knight and Day?" And (we unlucky few) in "Killers," too.
Let's throw the Jennifer Aniston misfire "The Bounty Hunter" on to the list for good measure. In all these movies, the guys get to shoot people, while distressed damsels are bound and gagged, or foolishly try to escape from their self-appointed bodyguard. That is, until the penny drops, and then -- if they're lucky -- they get to shoot people, too. These days, romance isn't dead, it's psychotic.
But that's treating the movies more seriously than they treat themselves. "Red," which is scripted by Jon and Erich Hoeber ("Whiteout") from the DC Comics book, neutralizes its body count with the smirky wink that has always been a staple in Bruce Willis' arsenal. His flippancy works best when it's played off against real danger, but the action in "Red" is strictly PG-13, which is to say perfectly harmless but scarcely exciting.
Parker's quirky energy -- "I was hoping you'd have hair ..." she tells Willis -- gives the comedy a welcome bump, and Malkovich's trigger-happy paranoiac is an easy sell, but director Robert Schwentke ("The Time Traveler's Wife") doesn't seem very interested in the conspiracy yarn that is supposed to link this disparate collection of party pieces together.
Hardly a bull's-eye, the movie barely makes sense, but it's performed with enough gusto to give it at least the sham of a personality and the semblance of a good time. Box office hits have been made from far less.
