RED
June 22, 2013  | By David Bianculli

Red 2 hits theaters in mid-July, and a look at this 2010 original, Red, shows why planning a sequel was such an obvious good move. RED is an acronym for Retired, Extremely Dangerous, and the plot finds a reason to unite former agents from various intelligence agencies – played by a deliciously varied cast of “aging” actors. Bruce Willis is an actor you’d expect in this sort of movie, but Morgan Freeman? John Malkovich? Helen Mirren? She, especially, brandishes her weapons with the delight of a veteran actress finally allowed to play action hero – and that delight is infectious.
