Product Description Frank Moses, a former black-ops CIA agent, is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his secret identity compromised and his love interest in danger, Frank must reassemble his old team to figure out who is out to get them. desertcart.com You can take the agent out of the CIA, but you can't take the CIA out of the agent--or so discovers Frank Moses, to his chagrin. Frank, played by Bruce Willis, simply wants to live his simple life with his government pension. But when a troop of black-ops guys descends on his house one night and blows it to smithereens, Frank realizes he needs to get a few of his old colleagues together and find out what's what. That's the premise of Red, a jolly action flick based on a rather more serious graphic novel. Because Frank's old posse includes kicky roles for Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and a tea-pouring, hot-lead-spraying Helen Mirren, the movie boasts a certain appeal just at the "Holy cow, can you believe who's in this thing?" level. Actually, the rest of the cast is pretty sweet as well: Mary-Louise Parker steals much of the film as Frank's unsuspecting civilian date (swept into the action because she might innocently become a CIA target, too), Brian Cox hams it up as Frank's former Soviet adversary (wistfully recalling how he always wanted to assassinate a US president), and Karl Urban (Star Trek) supplies brawn and brains as the current CIA agent in charge of bringing the hammer down on Frank. The breezy tone barely pauses to notice the semi-serious story point at the heart of the plot (a hazily recalled disaster in Guatemala many years earlier), nor the dead bodies that pile up around the edges of the action. Flightplan director Robert Schwentke lets his actors act up, which is not a capital crime given the skills of the cast list, and he shoves the plot along with fitting speed. It's not art, but as a multiplex diversion, Red scatters a decent share of legitimate jolts and rim-shot one-liners. --Robert Horton Review: Star-studded action-comedy vehicle provides a roaring good time - I know movies can be considered an art form, a way to make a social/political statement, and/or a means of experimenting with style and content. But let's face it -- many of us go to the movies not to be educated or culturally refined, but to be entertained. I know I've enjoyed my share of brainless but fun blockbusters, such as the "Transformers" film series and the "A-Team" movie, and will gladly choose a Pixar or Disney movie over a more "arty" foreign film. There are wonderful, art-worthy Oscar contenders that I will probably never watch again, simply because though I acknowledge they are good, they just weren't fun, while less artistically impressive movies will become a hit with me because of how much I enjoyed myself watching them. "RED" is not an Oscar contender, and has absolutely no pretense of making a statement or considering itself high art. But it's a blast nonetheless. (For the record -- no, I have not read the comic series this is based on, so I'm judging the film solely on its own merits.) Frank Moses is a "RED" (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) CIA agent, trying to grow accustomed to a quiet civilian life and having slightly flirty phone conversations with Sarah, the customer service agent at his pension office. His attempts to relax and enjoy retirement are shattered when a hit squad attacks his house one night, sending him on the run. With a rather reluctant Sarah in tow, he makes a cross-country trip to round up his old CIA buddies -- Joe, terminally ill but still kicking; Marvin, paranoid and deliciously crazy; Victoria, an elegant and soft-spoken "wetwork" agent; and ex-Russian secret agent Ivan. As they put together the pieces and discover their team is being hunted down due to their connection with a military disaster in Guatemala, Frank is being pursued by young CIA agent and family man William Cooper, who follows orders with chilling precision but is seemingly unaware that he's being used as a tool by higher forces... By far the best part of this film is the cast, containing such heavy hitters as Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Richard Dreyfuss. All of them look like they're having an absolute blast making this movie, and sling hot lead and sharp one-liners with equal zest. John Malkovich chews quite a bit of scenery as Marvin, easily making him one of the funniest characters in the film, and Helen Mirren shines as Victoria, obviously having fun being a proper lady with a machine gun. Richard Dreyfuss has only a few scenes as a smirky weapons dealer, but he hams it up enough that he's quite memorable. Morgan Freeman plays against type as Joe and has relatively few scenes for being one of the top-credited names, and Bruce Willis seems to be running mostly on autopilot as Frank Moses, but they're still both fun to watch and have some good lines. Mary-Louis Parker is sweet and spunky as Sarah, and Karl Urban (probably best known for "Star Trek") is mostly playing straight man to the rest of the crew as Cooper, but does his job well enough that I can see him carrying a "Bourne" style action series on his own. The film operates solely on "Rule of Cool," eschewing realism for over-the-top explosions and loads of gunfire and fist-swinging action. I don't particularly mind this, as I was enjoying the ride too much to nitpick at any errors. This film knows what it is, and never has any pretense at art or high-minded storytelling. The downside is that the plot tends to fall by the wayside in favor of fight and shoot-out scenes, but there's a good deal of humor, character development, and even a sweet romance to make up for any deficiencies in the plot. Very fun and entertaining action flick, with good actors and memorable jokes and scenes carrying the movie quite well despite the fairly weak plot. If you want a fun action flick, "RED" is a good choice, with something for just about everybody. It's not going to win any awards, but it's sure going to entertain you. P.S. There's talk of a sequel... and reportedly when Helen Mirren was asked what it would take to get her into the sequel, she said "just send me a script." I can only hope something good comes of this... :D Review: Excellent Movie - This movie was not exactly what I was expecting. Sure I figured action adventure which it certainly is but it has a lot of humor in it. Though not Oscar material it is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Where it is and it isn't exactly what you thought it would be it certainly doesn't hurt the movie at all. The big surprise is that the cell is all older actors and an actress not what one usually sees in youth driven Hollywood. That being said I found it to be a nice change of pace. (Just so you know, I am 46).The acting was very good with out being over done. The action was crisp...though I am sure some of you would think that it was violent, very violent. However, it is what you would expect in a movie like this. The humor works well and is in the places where you would expect it. Again it is not over done and you never get the feeling that they are playing for laughs. It is exactly how real life would unfold. You find yourself laughing because what is happening is actually funny and in a way you can relate to it. This movie does have a story and the story does make perfect sense, you just have to let it unfold and you are rewarded. Also this movie has an excellent cast,so much better than most movies and they all do a terrific job, so much so you are sorry when the movie ends. For me Karl Urban was the draw and I was not disappointed with his performance. He actually made feel that he enjoyed every thing about giving this performance in this movie, which of course made me enjoy this movie even more. All and all this movie gets a solid 10 out of 10 from me. It has action, adventure, humor, violence, and a love story well make that two love stories, how can you go wrong.

Great, Fun Movie!
Just a great, fun movie! The casting was perfect. There's enough action / stuff blowing up to keep your teenaged Son interested, and the interplay of characters will keep you daughter and wife entertained and laughing as well. If you've never seen Helen Mirren or John Malcovich in a comedy, you're missing out. Get the family together, put the cell phones on the charger with the privacy switch on, grab some popcorn and enjoy the time you've been missing together when everyone is usually going their own direction after dinner. You'll all be glad you did.

Fun
The baby boomer adventure movie to end all boomer adventure movies (you can practically hear Willis, Mirrin, Freeman, and Malkovich yelling, "Take that, generation Y! We're still vital and relevant!!!" as the credits roll) the premise of this movie is that spies might be retired, but they are still plenty dangerous. It's a fun idea, executed competently, if not especially brilliantly. Willis gets to play a slightly edgier version of his rogue cop role, a la Die Hard; Malkovich gets to be wacky; Mirrin gets to be classy (and British, of course); and Freeman gets to be wry. Mary Louise Parker serves as the romantic interest, playing a more midwestern version of her Nancy Parker (Weeds) character. The plot is straightforward, and everything hinges on the star power of the cast. Since they're all strong actors, it mostly works. If you have a family gathering, with grandparents and kids and parents all itching to watch a movie - this is a good choice. Nothing offensive, but nothing too juvenile, either. This isn't intended to be a negative review - movies like this one are hard to find. There's precious little out there that's good for older kids (think late elementary school through middle school) and also palatable for adults. This is a solid movie that promises just what it delivers: entertainment.

Ras le bol de ces 4K qui ne font qu’apporter du grains, du grains, et encore du grains ! Sans compter que la VF est Québécoise ! ( je n’ai personnellement aucun grief envers nos amis Québécois, Mais la voix de Bruce Willis pour nous, c’est le regretté Patrick Poivey.) Alors un conseil, conservez vos disques blu-ray!

Bruce Willis is wonderful and the rest of the cast are also magnificent. I knew it would be entertaining, but I didn't know how much. It's witty, action filled and brilliant from start to finish and the romantic relationships in it are just awesome. Karl Urban is hot and sexy as the CIA operative and is a brilliant foil for Bruce Willis' character. Well written, well plotted and very much worth watching. Helen Mirren totally kicks arse and John Malkovich is delightfully insane. It has the fun and action of The Losers [Blu-ray] [2010 ] and just a touch of romance as well. The plot is engaging and makes sense, which is superb because so many modern films give up plot for CGI. I cannot recommend this film enough.

Llegó en un case bien cuidado. La imagen se visualiza bien, siendo esta clara y nítida. El audio en inglés Dolby Atmos es bueno. Trae subtítulos en español e inglés. El código digital es válido solo para USA.

Bruce, Helen and Morgan as a bunch of indestructible old spies who are targeted by the CIA. Far-fetched? Just a wee bit! Fun movie to watch? You bet! Laughs? Yep! Lots of action and gratuitous explosions? Absolutely! So, what's not to like? Yeah, this isn't going to win awards for the most clever plot, for the best acting, or for being close to realistic, but I enjoyed the movie from start to finish, and then ordered Red 2 to get more of the same. It's a fun movie, features Bruce being indestructible (which he does well), has a female love interest he has to protect, and lots of silly, laugh-out-loud moments. This is entertaining. In the end, that's exactly what I wanted, and loved, about Red.
