are becoming more frequent, on the one hand, films that meet a significant number of known actors and, secondly, adaptations of comics and graphic novels that have nothing to do with the classic superhero cartoons. The truth is that there is often little to scratch in one and the other, beyond a brief and passing moment of entertainment. RED , a fusion of the characteristics of both groups of films, meets all previous expectations. Who expect great performances from the big names who populate the cast, to be forgotten because they are just having fun. Who expect a reflexive history beyond the reviled superhero, forget because there's only entertainment. RED is what it is. What other movies have been so many before it: a passing entertainment. It looks and forget as easily. Unequivocal sign that it could have done better, of course. But since then passenger is about two hours left no regret for having lived, not be so bad. It's just one more. And yet the thing about the paper could promise something else. Bruce Willis takes a few years lost, and only found back to the origins, recovering John McLane in Die 4th. Give it a starring role in a kind of action comedy, based on the graphic novel by acclaimed English author Warren Ellis looked good. Willis fits the cunning necessary for paper and film. If top is surrounded by Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss, Karl Urban, Ernst Borgnine (what joy to see you again on screen!), Mary-Louise Parker, Brian Cox and Julian McMahon, expectations grow . If a director also runs as varied as Robert Schwentke (author of the widely disparate Flightplan missing and Beyond time), the cocktail can be as unoriginal. And in the end it is not so. It's just a gathering of old friends, a genre that recovered and perpetuated (for me kind of boring) saga Ocean's Eleven , it does not add more than the great pleasure of seeing a remarkable group of actors having fun (I guess that was the original intention of Stallone and Mercenaries , to cite another example) and a moving right director bullets to the big screen. RED
(which stands for Retired Extremely Dangerous, Extremely Dangerous Retired) whose main character is Frank Moses, a former CIA agent who lives a pretty boring life in which only relates, and by phone with Sarah Ross a woman who manages the money from your pension. Everything changes when Frank has to repel an armed group that comes to your home to assassinate him. The next step, and as he had decided to meet in person to Sarah, will go look, because if they wanted to kill him it is normal to try to find you through it. Start and a great little coaster in which Frank, Sarah and other old friends who will be appearing on the road will have to find out who wants to end their lives and why, what will end up completely changing the purpose of his flight. All very typical of Warren Ellis, all very cynical, yet very violent and comically supposed offender. Maybe the bullets run around more easily than it does on the screen, where they meet the odd twist unlikely and expected to be no muss no comment for whom just get carried away without thinking about where you are carrying.
This film does not sink stands for nothing in particular. It is simply a clear and honest title that, if understood, allow greater enjoyment of the viewer. If not, we have a problem because too much risk then travels to the border of the absurd to the point that neither actors like Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren can rescue. The success of RED the viewer depends on the ability of abstraction to prove each of them, because it really does not offer much more. Enough? Each will have national assessment. For me it was not enough, because once its hard to remember a scene from the movie, some dialogue, some point, a character. Everything is seen in this blend of action movies coral-tinged comedy. And what is not seen (the first crossing between the characters of Willis and Urban, a car chase) is so implausible that can artificially scare. Just convinced that unreality in the epilogue, fun, casual and exgerado equally. But the fact is that the film seems to have pleased the critics and the public, to the point already announced a sequel. I'm going be very demanding.
