RED (2010) - June 18, 2011
A basically entertaining movie about a group of ex-CIA agents (and a call centre employee) who find themselves on the run from CIA assassins over a decades-old incident involving the vice president. Featuring overly-slick direction from Robert Schwentke and action that ranged from mediocre to competent, the film also kind of drags in parts (it probably doesn't help that it's almost two hours, an overlong runtime that the frothy film never justifies).  It's well acted, though, with people like Helen Mirren and John Malkovich obviously having a good time with the material, and it's generally entertaining enough.  **1/2
