Film: Red
“Red” is a no-holds-barred action-comedy starring Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Bruce Willis. No, it wasn’t made in 1980, or 1990 or even 2000. Don’t worry, though; a little arthritis won’t get in the way of these old-timers as they shoot, explode and kung-fu their way into CIA headquarters to clear their names after the government agency for which they used to work framed them for an assassination.
