I don't know about you, but it seems like quite a while since I've enjoyed a good ol' smirkin' Bruce Willis action film. Red's got him, and a whole list of other big names to boot. Based on the poster alone, I assumed Red to be an intense drama or psychological thriller. I assumed wrong. It's a fun, rollicking action comedy, completely void of a single scene that doesn't entertain.

Yeah, as a complicated progression of twisting plots, and "cat v. mouse" narrow-escape scenes -- it's not exactly watertight. But, it is fun-tight! So if you've got some H2O you need to store, put it in the fridge. But if you want to have a good time watching a film, then watch this one. Willis looks great in a miltary general uniform, but Mirren looks simply incredible dressed in dainty white behind some hard metal weapon of cinematic destruction. Impossibly fun.
