Retired and Extremely Dangerous is a fun action movie. Based on a graphic novel, Frank Moses is a retired CIA agent who is cruising through his life when danger comes to his doorstep. Requiring the help of some old friends and colleagues, Frank goes after the people who now deem him a serious threat.

RED is probably the best movie Bruce Willis has made in awhile, though I do find it hard to see Bruce Willis as playing anyone but Bruce Willis. Maybe he’s been rocking that same bald head for so long? Or that he seems to play the same character all the time. Denzel Washington has the same problem, although from his perspective that isn’t a problem. The rest of the cast is great though, I like Mary-Louis Parker, Helen Mirren plays a fun character and John Malkovich is always a treat when he gets to run around in a character with a few screws loose.

It’s a solid action movie from start to finish. They stretch the action to some unbelievable lengths on occasion, but it’s relatively real and they don’t go too far in the comic book direction. Hand to hand fights are done really well, the direction is nice and clean. The story isn’t insulting either so I can give this one a good recommendation.
