The highlight of his days is when he talks on the phone with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) &#8211; his representative for the pension fund: Even though they never met, they both have a crush on each other.<\/p>\n<p>While Frank makes plans to meet in person, a team of assassins try to kill Frank. Frank escapes but now that he is a target. So he has to kidnap Sarah, who is unwilling to believe that Frank is in fact ex CIA. But she eventually believes him. Frank realizes that the hit has been ordered by CIA itself. And it is not just Frank. A past Guatemala operation has gotten lots of agents and a news reporter killed. So Frank pulls up a team he can trust \u2013 although he has to let each member know that he is not trying to kill them first.<\/p>\n<p>His team includes ex-CIA Joe (<a href=\"..\/thick-as-thieves-2009\/\">Morgan Freeman<\/a>), nutty but smart Marvin (<a title=\"Review of 2008's mystery drama Afterwards, starring John Malkovich, Romain Duris &amp; Evangeline Lilly\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/afterwards-starring-john-malkovich-romain-duris-evangeline-lilly\/\">John Malkovich<\/a>), ex MI6 Victoria (Helen Mirren) and Russian Ivan (Brian Cox). At first the CIA was confident that their agent in charge, the highly capable William Cooper (<a href=\"..\/and-soon-the-darkness-starring-amber-heard-odette-yustman-karl-urban\/\">Karl Urban<\/a>) could take care of a \u201cgrandpa\u201d agent but as it will turn out, this team of old agents and a civilian can really kick ass and raise mayhem. Catching Frank will be a lot harder than anticipated\u2026<\/p>\n<p>*<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/golden-globes-2011-the-best-of-host-ricky-gervais\/\">2011\u2019s Golden Globe<\/a> nominee for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical), Red is a pretty entertaining action\/comedy that deliberately starts slow and follows with fast action and good comedy. The cast is incredible, the characters are hilarious. It is one of the most entertaining movies of <a title=\"Bruce Willis Trivia\" href=\"http:\/\/factoidz.com\/bruce-willis-trivia-16-facts-of-the-die-hard-movies-actor-bruce-willis\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bruce Willis<\/a>, who has been kicking ass in action films for over 2 decades now. And kudos to Helen Mirren, whose character totally destroys all the stereotypical movie roles a 65-year-old actress can get.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unreasonable. It\u2019s illogical. And the ending is predictable. But it is bloody good entertainment. It is hard to pick a favorite character but for me it is a tie between deadly Victoria and the paranoid Marvin who gets upset when he doesn\u2019t kill anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Jon and Erich Hoeber. Directed by Robert Schwentke (Flightplan, The Time Traveler\u2019s Wife). Based on the graphic novel created by Cully Hamner and Warren Ellis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7 Fun Red Facts: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nip Tuck\u2019s<strong> <\/strong>Julian McMahon makes a guest appearance as the Vice President.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cast also features Richard Dreyfuss.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The \u201cRussian\u201d Ivan is played by Brian Cox, who is actually Scottish.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a title=\"Sex and The City TV Series\" href=\"http:\/\/pinartarhan.com\/blog\/sex-and-the-city\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sex and the City<\/a>\u2019s Richard James Remar makes a guest appearance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Between the cast, there are three Oscars in acting: Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and Richard Dreyfuss are Oscar-winning actors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Weeds star Mary- Louise Parker used to date <a href=\"http:\/\/factoidz.com\/jeffrey-dean-morgan-trivia-17-facts-about-watchmens-the-comedian-and-greys-anatomys-denny-duquette\/\">Jeffrey Dean Morgan<\/a>, who also appeared in Weeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Favorite lines:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>** <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sarah is not happy to be kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank<\/em><em>:<\/em> I was just hoping you&#8217;d be a little more understanding of the situation.<em><br \/>\n<strong>Sarah<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/em> I was hoping not to get kidnapped.
