RED (2010)
RED is a caper film about four retired CIA black ops hit squad operatives (Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren). RED is an acronym which stands for Retired and Extremely Dangerous. These friends team up and come out of retirement after discovering that the CIA is mysteriously targeting Bruce Willis' character for assassination. Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, and Richard Dreyfuss also star, with a cameo by Ernest Borgnine. It's light-footed and entertaining for the star appeal. Rated R for a lot of machine guns and explosions, and some salty language.
Exactly how over-the-hill are these over-the-hill agents? As of today, the stars' ages are:Bruce Willis 55
Morgan Freeman 73
John Malkovich 57
Helen Mirren 65
Mary-Louise Parker 46
Karl Urban 38
Ernest Borgnine 93 (!)
Richard Dreyfuss 63
Morgan Freeman's character says at one point that he's 82, which is fudging.
