October 16, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Bruce Willis is back at doing what he does best, kick some rears of the baddies of the world in the film Red. The film is based on the cult DC Comics series by the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. In the film Bruce dons the cap of the protagonist Frank Moses, but this time he is not alone he has a team of some of the oldies brigade too but they have not lost their touch on what they does.
Directed by Robert Schwentke the film has some awesome action sequences with Helen Mirren taking out a 50-calibre machine gun while dressed in an evening gown. John Malkovich tickles some funny bones too as Marvin Boggs who lives in an underground camouflaged hole. Morgan Freeman as an elderly friend of Willis doesnt have much to do in the film but still makes his presence felt.
So why does this old retired brigade of CIAs black-op forced to take up the guns and shoot the assassin team of CIA? The oldies know too much and needs to be ended, so Willis re-groups his old team in an effort to survive. But Willis, Malkovich, Mirren and Karl Urban shows they still have it in them and can teach the young block on how to kick the baddies.
The film is full of action, comedy and those who love seeing smashing stuffs, turning a room upside down will surely enjoy it. The film is hitting the screens on Oct15, 2010 in USA.
