RED (2010)

[VampAurora]

Storyline:
Frank is retired, bored and lonely living off his government pension in a nondescript suburb in an equally nondescript house. The only joy in Frank's life are his calls to the government pension processing center when he gets to talk to his case worker Sarah. Sarah is as bored and lonely as Frank and marks her conversations with the unknown Frank and her spy novels as the only things fun in her life. When something in Frank's past forces Frank back into his old line of work and puts an unwitting Sarah in the middle of the intrigue, Frank and Sarah begin a journey into Franks past and the people he used to work with. Like Frank they are all RED ... Retired Extremely Dangerous.

Critiques:

"Even the more cartoonish performances, like John Malkovich's acid-damaged paranoiac, fit the movie's vision of the vanished, wild-and-woolly heyday of spycraft." John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter

"Red has more snappy joy in store than practically all of last summer's busted blockbusters." Kyle Smith, New York Post

"The result is like a sugar rush after a visit to the vintage candy store." Michelle Orange, Movieline

"It's a lot of fun and, because of the high quality of the cast, there's no need to feel guilty about praising such an inherently silly motion picture." James Berardinelli, ReelViews

"One of those rare action comedies that actually delivers action and comedy." Lawrence Toppman, Charlotte Observer
