Late Review: Red

I'm sure like everyone else when they saw the commercial they immediately thought of A-Team or The Losers but I was happy with this movie.

Synopsis: You begin following Frank Moses, a retired CIA agent who pretends to have problems with his retired pay so he can talk to a girl he likes at her job. After he is attacked by a team of mercenaries, he gets his colleagues together from years before. After several attacks, and some digging, he finds out the more sinister plot as to what is happening.

Review: First of all, that was a terrible synopsis, but I don't want to ruin this plot. While I was worried it would be a copy-paste of A-Team or the Losers, it didn't disappoint. Granted it was very similar, but it wasn't the same thing. The thing that really made it stand out was its cast. It starred Bruce Willis, who knows his way around an action movie. John Malkovich played a crazy, paranoid survivalist, and he did it amazingly. Although one would expect such great work from such a seasoned actor. Other actors made small appearances and the chemistry was magnificent.
I highly recommend this movie as it blends action and comedy beautifully. 23/25 just for the plot


P.S. I don't think i'm going to do a breakdown anymore. I'm going to more a little more in depth reviews in place of the breakdown. Tell me what you think. I'm pretty sure you can comment on it below.
