RED

Frank Moses is just your average retiree. Almost. Except for the fact that he was CIA. So when a hit team pretty much levels his house, he knows, that something is up. He drives to pick up a girl he's been phoning with, putting her in danger, and takes off to find his old buddies, and to try to figure out why in the world someone would try to kill a CIA agent. It's not the Russians. It's none of his colleagues. So who is it? Well, to find out, watch the movie.

RED is easy to categorize. It's action (that took me a while - I mean, it's full of weapons, fights, agents and assassins, so it could easily be something else (that was sarcasm in case you didn't catch it)). And it's comedy. The CIA agents keep coming up with useless comments and memories - and it doesn't help that one of them is demented. After and intense gunfight with Secret Service, one of them remarks that he remembered them to be tougher.



If you're looking for a movie with high intelligence standard, don't pick RED. If, however you want a movie where you can just shut your brain off and laugh, RED is for you. Ratings for this movie were high, scoring a 95% with viewers, and a 61% with critics. So what does RED stand for anyways? Retired, and Extremely Dangerous: a four word phrase summing up the movie.
