It may not be the killer thrill ride you'd expect from an action movie with a cast of this caliber, but Red still thoroughly outshines most of its big-budget counterparts with its wit and style.

Movie Info

Along with Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren), Frank's specialty was carrying out contracts that the government didn't want the public to know about. These days, Frank and his old gang are all retired, but the

Red is a goofball lament. It's saying that in the good old days, or at least in the good old movie days, our killers were good-time guys.
Top CriticBeneath its light exterior is not only a neat, if unsubtle, political undercurrent but a rebellious streak about how the allure of firing an RPG outweighs the prospect of retirement.
Much of the enjoyment comes from seeing these respected thespians so thoroughly embody cartoon characters; it's like Sidney Lumet directing Space Jam.
You're never too old for mayhem.
What really works for Red is our shared history with the actors involved.
Red has ka-booms, rat-a-tat-tats and a wildly extended first date. It's edgy and fantastically gooey -- and flaunts it.
A playful action blockbuster with a top-shelf cast and a refreshingly unconventional concept.
Oh, that "RED" was the giddy romp it might have been, it promises to be or it thinks it is.
Put your brain on hold for a few hours and you'll enjoy this light-hearted action comedy.
The best reason to get out there and see it is to see these actors take on this kind of over-the-top material. The fun they appear to be having on screen ends up being quite contagious.
The cast's efforts go about halfway to compensating for Red's lack of inspiration elsewhere.
All the stars seem to be having great fun playing goodies and baddies and running around shooting things. But they could do the same thing paintballing, sparing us from having to watch them and avoiding having to spend 60 million dollars in the process.
A fun little spy thriller that twists the old adage that you can't teach an old dog new tricks and suggests that perhaps they can teach you something new instead.
Si el entretenimiento funciona, además, se debe en gran parte a un atractivo elenco que se divierte como loco jugando a los espías y a los héroes de acción.
It could use more blammo. And more witty. And more everything else. But it requires nothing from you and, in turn, gives back a reasonable amount of action-tainment, so you still come out ahead in the bargain.
This is a flawed but highly enjoyable actioner, bouyed massively by its big-hitting stars and a cheekily dark sense of humour.
If the prospect of seeing Dame Helen letting rip with a ginormous machine gun while dressed to the nines tickles your fancy, give the film a go.
A visually explosive film that leaves little time to catch your breath.
Call it the film equivalent of the Traveling Wilbury's...a sly caper film that boasts an Oscar laden, all-star veteran cast yet is anything but old and tired.
They're not too old for this shit.
The novel AARP-action vibe is loose and pleasant, even if the sensitive viewer can't help wishing gunplay and murder weren't so easy to accept as escapist entertainment.
...filled with the kind of sprightly paced, lighthearted violence that's supposed to evoke chuckles but mostly seems under-heated and over-loud.
Typical action-blockbuster stuff, entertaining and mindless, that is elevated by the high-wattage cast.
Yes, it's silly. But 'Red' is above-average because it boasts so much serious star power.
The film's two romances are implausible, the dialogue is drawn out with geriatric pauses and the constant funk soundtrack does little to make sense of a plot more disjointed than Brian Cox's knees.
