RED - 10 stars out of 10

Best. Action. Comedy. Ever. RED is everything that movies like "Knight and Day" aspire to be. It starts with one superstar as Bruce Willis lights up the screen. Then Morgan Freeman is added to the equation. They are followed by John Malkovich (who is hysterical) and Helen Mirren. Throw in incredible cameos by Brian Cox and Richard Dreyfuss, a kick-butt performance by Karl Urban, and Mary-Louise Parker in a geeky (but enchanting) role, and you have one of the most entertaining casts ever assembled. Aside from the amazing acting, RED seamlessly transitions between laugh-out-loud funny moments and adrenaline-pumping action sequences. The plot is clever, its one liners are perfectly timed, and there are even some hilarious visual gags without turning this into a cheesy comedy [cough cough Knight and Day]. I will typically see any movie simply because Morgan Freeman is in it, but RED offers much more than that. You MUST see this movie. That is not an option. Go see it right now.
