Willis star in another action film, alongside Mary-Louise Parker the gorgeous mother in Weeds no less. John Malkovich plays the paranoid role quite astonishingly and Helen Mirren firing large weapons, including a gatling gun, is amazing! Every name above plays an equal part in the film, which is amazing. I never had so many characters in a single movie that I highly enjoyed equally. Remarkably done with talent seeping through the actors and vividly portrayed on the screen. Don't expect this film to change the history of all films, but expect it to exceed in entertainment. If you give it a chance, you won't be disappointed. It's definitely a Friday night flick, something that is easily enjoyed.Brilliance!

interesting for every single minute. If anyone is unsure about seeing this movie, PLEASE don't hesitate, it's worth every penny!

a splash of romance: see this movie. I am a woman, and I LOVE, nay ADORE, action movies. I am so sick of tons of drama, tons of tears, tons of fluff. I want action. And this movie flat out DELIVERS. Buy the ticket, see the movie. Enough Said.

career. If Johnny Depp can get nominated for "Pirates" and Robert Downey Jr. can get nominated for "Tropic Thunder", then Malkovich should get nominated for this, seriously. Every time he came on screen the whole theatre would be dying with laughter.Movies are expensive now and not all of them are worth seeing in theatre but this one is. It's not the best film ever made, the story could have been a little tighter, but I can promise you'll have a lot of fun and you will be laughing your ass off through most of it.

I'm somewhat biased hailing from the same toon! The always impeccable Ernest Borgnine has still got it! Dame Helen wielding heavy weapons?!!! The scriptwriters hit me for 6 with that premise. The last time I laughed out loud at the mere description of a film was Arnie & and Danny DeVito in 'Twins'! None of the above cast list is a new face. We've all got a view on what we have & haven't enjoyed seeing them do on the big screen so you kind of expect them to play to their strengths...& there's no disappointment, everybody does. However, something magical happens when actors at the top of their game just decide to have fun with what could have just been a reasonably funny script. There's a genuine chemistry, warmth and comedic performance above and beyond the ordinary with this gang. Nobody has to try too hard, it just comes naturally. Just to add to that joy, they're ably supported by the younger team of players. The interplay, hooks and playoffs move the story along with aplomb. What makes it stand out is almost every scene you can see they're having fun. There's some unexpected twists, Morgan's part throws up some surprises but let's face it the BIG surprise is the world's sexiest sixty year old Helen Mirren wielding the cake tray then the heavy weaponry?!! Did I mention she's sexy? I adored Mary-Louise Parker who was Brucie's love interest but Dame Helen, it's not just the acting chops.There's an old story in Hollywood that actors can still get the roles until they're well past their prime but actresses are all washed up once they're 40. Can someone PLEASE sit EVERY casting director in the world in front of this film then because I would like to speak on behalf of the entire male population of the world & probably most women i.e. that audience you're trying to attract. There's not a living, breathing male on the planet doesn't recognise beauty and talent...today it goes by the name of DAME HELEN MIRREN. Any chance we can see more of our favourite actresses given fun roles once they reach their prime? I'm not going to go into the details of the plot as I don't want to spoil it for you so here's my adviceSEE THIS NOW!You won't regret it. A hoot from start to finish!

are gut busting scenes, but mainly just a lot of smiles and small laughter that are gingerly peppered across the film.While there is action, I would definitely not call this an action film. Die hard action junkies will be disappointed.If you want to see a sweet film, full of laughs, warmth, witty dialog, great acting and lots of explosions and gun fights - this is the film to see.I think all the actors were great - it's hard to pinpoint any single great performance. Willis, Freeman and Malkovich have never been better. and the minor parts by Borgnine and Dreyfuss just added icing on the cake.I lost track of how many times I laughed and clapped my hands. I honestly cannot remember doing that in a theater in a VERY long time.Bravo to everyone involved..Could a film staring Willis and freeman as assassins with explosions be the feel good movie of the year? It was to me.

Cox, Hellen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss, even Ernest Borgnine! As the young er crew, Karl Urban and Mary-Louise Parker are in it and they both play well. But more than that, each character actually has a role. They don't just come in, say a few inconsequential things, then die or are completely forgotten *cough* James Remar *cough*.So it had the ridiculously packed action and at times it looked and sounded like Ocean's Eleven, who cares? The rest was great! Even the fight scenes... not even the bad guys go out in full view firing wildly then getting shot. People actually took cover, helped each other and synchronized their moves. The lines were funny and somewhat complex and all the people on the set were clearly having fun doing what they loved.Bottom line: I don't know, maybe because the director is unseasoned in the ways of Hollywood the movie turned out to be so good. Or maybe it was the cast. Or maybe it was the fun of it. The movie turned out great, with a few screw-ups that I am ready to ignore. The mash-up is Jason Bourne meets The Expendables via, luckily for us, just a pinch of Ocean's Eleven.

date movie - possibly one to wait for DVD for...

old team back together Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich in hopes to uncover who is behind the hits, but will they before it's too late? I really don't agree with the critics on this one. Red was entertaining. It's funny without trying to get overly silly. Action scenes where good. Bruce Willis, Mary Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, Richard Dreyfuss, Brian Cox, and Morgan Freeman. But it's John Malkovich who steals the show, with his funny one liners. And also a great co starring role by veteran actor Ernest Borgnine.
