Red

The stars? Well, while I'm sure they had fun phoning in their performances - I hope they've destroyed the records - I can't help wishing they were all doing something more interesting.

Together they make up for decent movie, with occasionally good action scenes.

Red is a goofball lament. It's saying that in the good old days, or at least in the good old movie days, our killers were good-time guys.

While it's a movie richly endowed with big names, you come away imbued with the happy thought that they all left their egos at home.

With its self-deprecating humour, and a hilarious performance from Malkovich, the film -- though it never makes the least bit of sense -- is easy to take, and there are a few snappy lines of dialogue, too.

A fast, funny, smart, adult-oriented action-comedy that generates precisely the kind of giddy vibe The Expendables lacked.

It's more annoying than charming, taking time away from character development in favour of a rather simple romantic arc...

Baring just a slight resemblance to the far more serious and violent graphic novel on which it’s based, “RED” never veers far outside traditional action/comedy boundaries yet delivers welcomed surprises at every turn.

Red could have easily been a summer blockbuster, given the wowing cast, comic origins, and adrenaline-powered pacing. But there’s more here than merely another comic book movie looking to service fanboys alone.

It’s not particularly memorable as an action film—director Robert Schwentke is no John Woo—but the ensemble brings chemistry and eccentric characterizations to the tongue-in-cheek sensibility.
