Red: Rollicking, Extremely Delightful

IIPM Mumbai Campus

Too many cooks don't always spoil the broth

The formula for this one was simple - assemble a mammoth cast, something productive will self-generate and the movie will draw viewers in flocks. And that is exactly why Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, Mary-Louise Parker and Brian Cox were all roped in!

Loosely inspired by a comic series of the same name, RED (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) is a strange love-action-comedy-thriller. Frank Moses (Willis) is a lonely retired CIA Agent, living a quite retired life until the vehement peace in his life is scattered. He realises that someone is attempting to kill him, his phone-friend and former fellow CIA operatives who served with him in Guatemala. One would have to wonder just how many more times Bruce Willis would play the retired bald-old-man who can shoot-a-gun.

Marvin (Malkovich), a paranoid schizophrenic played to perfection, is painfully funny. The script is not worthy of such an elaborate cast but the performance
of the seasoned actors give it a neck.

The concoction of talent may prove disastrous more often than not, as made evident by a certain ‘Valentine’s Day’ this year. But a definite green light for RED.
