Red is an American action-comedy film very loosely based on the three-issue comic book limited series of the same name created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, and published by the DC Comics imprint Homage. The film stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, John Malkovich, Brian Cox, Helen Mirren, Ernest Borgnine, and Richard Dreyfuss, with Robert Schwentke directing a screenplay by Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber.Frank Moses (Willis) is a retired CIA agent trying to make the best of his simple life. For the past few months, he had been developing a tentative relationship with Sarah Ross (Parker), a civilian office drone helping him with pension checks. He had been planning on going to Kansas City to see her when a hired hit squad bursts into his house and tries to have him killed. Since they had him under surveillance, Frank realizes that they must know about Sarah, and he's forced to kidnap her while he seeks help from other former members of the intelligence community (basically all the remaining cast). Meanwhile, CIA agent William Cooper (Urban) is discovering that the entire ordeal doesn't seem to add up. What follows is part Road Trip Plot, part Romantic Comedy and part action movie, as Frank gathers up his old CIA crew and gets to the bottom of their new R.E.D. (Retired, Extremely Dangerous) titles.The film seems to have been made primarily so that a bunch of... matured actors, many of them famed for dramatic work, could ham it up with very large guns, and is fun to watch even if only because everyone in the cast and crew seem to be enjoying themselves. A sequel was released on July 19th, 2013. A third movie is in development, though no dates have been revealed yet. The status of the third movie is currently in the air, given Willis' 2022 disclosure that he has been diagnosed with aphasia and is stepping away from acting.This is one of the few DC movies to not be distributed by Warner Bros., but rather Summit Entertainment. | |

Retired Badass: Moses and his team. There's a reason R.E.D. stands for "Retired, Extremely Dangerous" after all. People seem to have a problem comprehending the last two letters. | |

Punch-Clock Villain | |
Red (2010) / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: The numerous police, feds and secret service agents that try to either apprehend Moses and the crew or protect the VP. Impressively, the heroes never kill a single one of these guys, instead only taking out the mercenaries and CIA assassins whose job is to eliminate them. Also, Ivan in a way. If the movie was set during the Cold War, Ivan and Frank may well have been mortal enemies trying to kill each other. However, with the Iron Curtain fallen, Ivan becomes more of an ambivalent ally who misses the excitement and subterfuge of the Cold War, sees an opportunity to rekindle an old love affair, and wants to collect on the favor Frank owes him. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
Red (2010) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Aside from the transition to comedy, as noted above, the movie also does a great deal of expanding on the reasoning behind the order to kill Moses, creating a rather elaborate conspiracy involving the Vice President, whereas in the original comic it is just the new director of the CIA finding out about Moses' record and saying "Holy Shit! We can't let this guy live as long as he knows this stuff!" Signed off on by Warren Ellis himself, since the comic is so short that he said it could maybe be a forty-minute film... if it had a musical number. | |

Dirty Old Man: Joe is a mild version. He pretends the TV is broken, or possibly sabotages it, so he can look at the butt of the nurse who tries to fix it. She catches him, but is only amused by it, likely due to the fact that, as far as the nurse knows, Joe is a harmless old man with Stage 4 Liver Cancer. | |

The Dreaded: The way the team talks about Victoria just before she is introduced makes it feel like they're reluctant to meet her and might not survive that. Totally justified, given the kind of work these people do, and the fact that when we actually see her she's hiding a submachine gun under a pile of flowers. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
Red (2010) / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Victoria is trying to bypass the electronic lock on a door leading to a secret prison wing. When she can't manage it, Frank simply knocks on the door, causing the guard on the other side to open it and complain about how they're not following standard protocol. He realizes his mistake a bit too late, of course. | |

What Measure Is a Mook?: Played with. The team kills the wet work team, CIA assassins, and various mercenaries who are actively trying to kill them; but most of whom are presumably unaware of the conspiracy. They are very careful however not to kill any of the police, FBI, and Secret Service they encounter, who are completely unaware of the conspiracy. | |

Frank just puts down his gun, but only to fool Bailey into thinking he's won. | |

Red (2010) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: You can see Warren Ellis' fingerprints all over the script in the form of Marvin Boggs — an utterly lethal and brilliant yet batshit insane drug-addled conspiracy freak who is right about EVERY SINGLE ONE of his paranoid freakouts. All that's missing is some cool tattoos, smoking, and some nanotech implants and you'd have every single one of Ellis' "heroes" crammed into John Malkovich, who is the most memorable part of all the awesome things around him. All of this is rather amusing when you consider that Warren Ellis actually had no involvement in the creation of the character. There's a fair bit of bondage in the movie, with emphasis on wide, tape gags. It can't be a coincidence that two scenes of two different people with them on are so close together, that there is an onscreen gagging of the main heroine, numerous cuts to her struggling while Bound and Gagged, and when she breaks free, unlike in almost every other portrayal of a gagged captive escaping their bonds, she does not immediately remove her gag, despite having both hands free. | |

Sure, he is first seen casually planting evidence before faking a man's suicide, but we're never given anything to actually indicate his target was a good guynote Besides, everyone knows that "Don't you know who I am?!" is something only bad guys ever say.... much like Frank before his retirement. | |

Success Through Insanity | |
Red (2010) / int_7b1e41ba | comment |
Success Through Insanity: Boggs, who's... kinda messed up in the head due to being fed LSD for 11 years. He keeps a grenade launcher in a stuffed pig he carries everywhere; and even uses the grenade launcher as a baseball bat to hit a grenade back at an attacker — and that's before he shoots an RPG round dead-on. Also, his Properly Paranoid streak helps the group anticipate and deal with or escape several encounters. | |

Super Cell Reception: Cooper apparently has some kind of super cellphone which can get reception in a steel-plated, deep underground CIA vault. It is the CIA, after all. Victoria communicates with the rest of the team, who are in Dunning's inner saferoom for private negotiations, via walkie-talkie. Either Dunning is incompetent or the radios are magical. | |

Notably averted in one instance only: when Victoria is gutshot late in the first film. Right after she and Marvin exlaim that they remember the Secret Service being tougher. | |

Revealing Cover-Up | |
Red (2010) / int_a1b0c1c2 | comment |
Revealing Cover-Up: Bonus points for being a cover-up of a cover-up. In 1981 a young Army officer snapped and massacred an entire village in Guatemala. A number of CIA agents, including Moses, were shuttled in to clean up the mess. Now, some 30 years later, a young reporter named Stephanie Chen has gotten wind of the thing, and tries to get the scoop from someone else who was involved, arms magnate Alexander Dunning (Dreyfuss). He calls the young Army officer — Vice President Robert Stanton — who panics and just decides to kill everyone. (Again.) And this brings us back to Frank and Sarah. All of this is revealed to be a ruse because Dunning was planning to make Stanton the president and use the incident to blackmail him. Any surviving witnesses to the original incident (Frank, Joe, the people the reporter talked to) had to go because they knew too much. | |

Mood Whiplash: Played for laughs when Moses and Ivan reminisce about their past job. Ivan mourns the loss of his fellow agent and cousin, whom Moses has supposedly killed. It is all very sombre. After downing a drink, Moses deadpans that said cousin is actually still alive — a defector who is now quite obese and owns a chain of 7-11s. Ivan is shocked at the news that Igor is still alive and a defector, but laughs at his weight and business. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Every single gun in the movie fired more ammunition than it is actually capable of holding. Averted in the case of Victoria's .50 Browning, which is belt-fed and not limited in this fashion, although admittedly we do not see the belt clearly when the agents catch up to it and find it rigged to fire unattended and overheating from sustained fire might be a problem. We also see Frank change magazines when he jumps out of the police car, continuously firing at Cooper. IMFDB notes that the 8-round weapon still manages to fire 16 rounds after that reload. | |

They look at Moses and the other Old Masters and only see "old guys", never quite realizing, despite repeated humiliating defeats at their hands, that anyone who has managed to survive to a ripe old age in that career field is obviously really damned good at NOT DYING! The one exception being Cooper; as soon as he finds out what Moses really did, he treats him with the appropriate severity. | |

Convenient Slow Dance: Victoria and Ivan are supposed to take advantage of one at the VP's party so she can hand off the gas canister for his part of the ruse. However, they are just recently reunited Star-Crossed Lovers; he fails to notice when the music ends, and she forgets to hand over the canister until he starts to walk away. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
Red (2010) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Boggs shoots down an RPG with his S&W. Dead center. Also notable is the absurd timing. Rocket Propelled Grenades are fast. Boggs put a bullet dead center on the tip of an rocket propelled grenade, after it had been fired, but before the shooter was outside the blast radius. Also a case of Reality Is Unrealistic: MythBusters tested this, and the grenade doesn't arm until it is already a good distance away from the shooter, since the RPG is an inertia-triggered weapon. | |

Only a Flesh Wound: Averted. When Moses gets shot in the shoulder they have to seek medical assistance, and when Victoria gets shot by the secret service agents, she chooses to stay behind, because the wound seriously impairs her ability to walk, much less complete the mission. Ivan carries her out, and presumably patches her up offscreen. Played straight with Cooper after Moses dislocates his shoulder; he has a sling for one scene and then it disappears without any apparent residual pain. | |

Sequel Goes Foreign | |
Red (2010) / int_f729e5bc | comment |
Sequel Goes Foreign: Apart from a short stint in Moldova in The Stinger, the first film was set entirely within America. Here, most of the action takes place in Paris, London and Moscow, and there are some scenes in Hong Kong and Caracas as well. | |

Someone Has to Die | |
Red (2010) / int_f8ec3418 | comment |
Someone Has to Die: Our heroes can't see any way to escape Dunning's compound that doesn't call for someone to pull a Heroic Sacrifice. Joe volunteers, citing his Convenient Terminal Illness. | |

Faking the Dead: Marvin starts the film by warning Frank someone is coming after them, then apparently blowing himself up. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Red (2010) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Former CIA field officer Robert Baer was a consultant for the film, and does DVD Commentary. The film is largely accurate, but he notes the usage of cheats for the sake of story. The Back Room, for example, is more or less real, but the RED designation isn't. There's a scene where Moses makes a cell phone call from the library, and Baer notes that in real life, Frank would've stolen a phone from someone if he didn't have time to find a pay phone. Most hilariously, he says that a lot of Boggs' paranoia about "the grid" is justified, and he often sounds like the character. | |
