RED

Finally saw the movie RED. Hilarious, touching, and definitely up there as one of my favorite action comedies. Will likely purchase a copy so I can watch Bruce Willis pretend to be unsure about whether a girl likes him or not. And I didn’t know Karl Urban was such a versatile actor. Apparently he was just in a lot of semi-bad films or bit parts in decent films. This gives me a lot of hope for him as Judge Dredd.
The comedy and acting level was spot on. When the entire audience laughs just because of a facial expression, you know they did something right. Man the bedroom scene near the beginning of the film with him reading the book. And the bedroom scene later with her while he is visiting Morgan freeman? Hilarity. I can also see why the film is a hit with almost all ages from old to young. Good comedy, good acting, distinct messages that appeal to all types.
If you haven’t seen it, try and catch a showing. It won’t be in theaters for much longer.
I wonder how much it differs from the comics… probably a lot.
