I went into this film not expecting much more than an average film. The main thing that struck me about this is that all these great actors are having fun. The chemistry between Bruce Willis and John Malkovich is amazing. Morgan Freeman plays his usual likable character, Helen Mirren looks hot and it was great seeing Ernest Borgnine still working. I would love to see the gag reel for this because Malkovich is crazy and I bet he had everyone cracking up. I hate sequels/prequels, re-boots and re-imaginings but amazingly I would love to see a sequel, perhaps the adventure in Moldova alluded to at the end. Willis and Malkovich need to work together again. Recommended 8/10

It has decent action, bbut that's it. It's not funny, it's not clever. Bruce Willis can't/wont act anymore. He clearly don't care and he's only there for the paycheck. He should retire in real life as his character has in the movie. There is zero chemistry between Bruce and his so called love interest: Parker. Parker is annoying as hell. As well as Mirren. Freeman and Malkovich. The only one giving a good performance in this awkward unfunny action comedy is Karl Urban. I root for him. Not the old Bruce (Douchebag) Willis and his really old friends. Avoid this, unless you're a Mirren or Malkovich fan. Evereyone else should stay clear of this crap and watch or re-watch The Last Boyscout. Back when Willis had hair and could still act (be charming and funny and intense and not just an old douche-bag.

I can't believe that there are people who actually take this film seriously - it's obvious from the off that it's a parody of all the action flicks ever made, and such tremendous fun it is to watch, too. I love it when you can see the actors actually having a hard time keeping a straight face - they obviously enjoyed filming it as much as the audience enjoyed watching it. My one complaint is that Morgan Freeman was woefully underused, but John Malkovich totally stole the show - he tends to play crazy characters anyway, but Marvin was marvellous! And it was great to see Ernest Borgnine in a role - it was like a who's who of the Hollywood bible! I recommend Red for anyone who is in the mood for a laugh, coupled with some great, OTT action sequences.

With actors like these, could anything possibly go wrong? I for once think there was not a great chance of that happening. And thankfully the makers did match my expectations. I was expecting everything from the actors though I have to say, that the role portrayed by Ms. Parker did surprise. I came to expect her in other more active roles, so it was funny seeing her being more passive this time around. Willis is laconic as ever, but he gets out-shined (as do the others) by John Malkovich. He is just great. The movie of course is not to be taken too seriously. It always delivers its dialog with a smirk and a wink. You may not like that of course, but if you do, you will very much enjoy a movie that really is enjoyable on many aspects.

Like I said before, I am not a fan of Bruce Willis films but I really liked this one. After seeing him in Death Wish 2018, this seemed to be a good succession.

The usual, entertaining action-packed Bruce Willis movie.
