Aging CIA agents called into action when someone begins offing other ex-operatives. A simple plot combined with some fun action, actors (Willis, Freeman, Malkovich, Mirrin) that are obviously having fun and Mary-Louise Parker looking fantastic makes for a fun 90 minutes… RED goes on for 111, though. So, yeah, there’s a bit of fat that could be trimmed here and the finale isn’t as exciting as it should be, but those turn out to be minor gripes when this happens to be one of the best summer movies… even though it was robbed of summer status and dumped in October. If you’re looking for fun in the vein of THE LOSERS but, like, way better – this is worth your time.
