I would call it The Expendables for Seniors, but that movie had plenty of seniors as well (a group of seniors who can all kick my behind if I mock them, and a Governator who might have me locked up if I cross the state line).
Bruce Willis stars as Frank Moses - a retired CIA agent living in Cleveland and striking up a phone relationship with a helpful government call center employee, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker). One day, Frank is attacked, and realizes Sarah is in danger, since whoever wants to kill him could use her as leverage, so he heads off to Kansas City to pick her up and round up his old gang to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Who wants Frank dead?
Why?

Red might sound like Die Hard 5, but writers Jon and Erich Hoeber (based on the graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner) and director Robert Schwentke want the audience to get as many laughs as explosions. They fill the movie with plenty of crazy situations that lend themselves to silliness and comedy, even though they abandon the comedy towards the end. After laughing so hard for most of the movie, it was disappointing to see Red get so serious.
Also, Red has a very thin plot. If you want twists and turns and shocking developments, trot on over to The Social Network (or Secretariat, which has more surprises than Red, and it's based on a true story most of us already know!). Schwentke and the Hoebers have to fill Red with plenty of pointless chases and stuff going boom to get a full length feature film out of the premise, but they could have made the situation more complicated to achieve a better result.
However, Red almost becomes a can't miss film because of John Malkovich. Don't get me wrong. Willis, Parker, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and Brian Cox all have some good moments, but Malkovich is performing at another level that will make you think his acting career is on a massive hot streak (between this and Secretariat, he has reminded people how good he is). He makes his character offbeat, hilarious and absolutely loony, but you can't get enough. Just watching his facial expressions when he is in the background or being a supporting player in a scene is enough to make you feel the money you laid out for a ticket didn't go to waste.
Red has more good than bad, so why not give it a shot?
3 Waffles (Out of 4)
Red is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action violence and brief strong language.
