R.E.D. means Retired, Extremely Dangerous
you know, Red... it's that little film about CIA death squads and the Vice Presidential incident in Guatemala, oh and the gun running, oh and the Russians and a machine-gun toting sniper-rifle wielding Helen Mirren, you know that film you thought might be rubbish so you never went to see it.
Rent the DVD/bluray or download it to your preferred viewing platform.
Do it tonight, RED is brilliant. The actors are literally THE BEST THERE IS, the script is funny, violent, romantic. Yeah, ROMANTIC... this film is loaded with romantic gallows humor and lust, lots of that life lived on the adrenalin edge nonsense. A mind-expandingly blatant (and visceral) exploration of how we used to do things, back in the good old days. Everything in RED shines with a wild-eyed lsd-enhanced nostalgia for the way Governments used to run their BAPs or Black Operation Psychopaths.
Look, I'm gonna help you: here's the gaddam trailer...
and now, here's the RED2 trailer, which I just have to see - watch out for Mirren's NITRIC ACID cameo. Nice.
"Hell, yeah!"
