Character(s)/Actor(s): Frank Moss (Bruce "Die Hard" Willis), Sarah (Mary Louise "Weeds" Parker), Joe (Morgan "Shawshank Redemption" Freeman), Victoria (Helen "The Queen" Mirren), Marvin (John "Being John Malkovich" Malkovich), Cooper (Karl "Star Trek" Urban), James "The Warriors" Remar, Richard "Jaws" Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine, etc.
Bruce Willis plays Frank Moss, a retired C.I.A. agent who not only has a difficult job adjusting to retirement, but he and several of his aging former colleagues are all branded as "RED" or "Retired, Extremely Dangerous" by the powers that be. Moss and friends become targets of a seemingly endless wave of government assassins led by an agent Cooper (Karl Urban). Frank goes on an unannounced visit of Sarah, a pension customer service rep (Mary Louise Parker) he often calls just to talk and he abducts her to save her life. These "RED" former trained killers are very hard to kill and won't go away quietly. Meanwhile, Moss, Sarah, and his ex-spy friends travel all over to survive and they even break into the highly secure Central Intelligence Agency headquarters. This movie was over the top and highly implausible, but Willis and his fellow targeted retirees are fun to watch. John Malkovich was a hoot as Marvin, a paranoid old man who was once frequently dosed with LSD while an agent. Unless you don't like action movies with a certain amount of comic relief, you should enjoy this movie.
