Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

RED (2010)

This was a waste of film (or whatever it is they use nowadays...at the very least it was a waste of time). The only thing it had going for it was its good-natured vibe.

Retired assassin Bruce Willis flirts over the phone with a drone in the pension department and, when he's targeted for death, she's the one he runs to. And then he digs Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren -- the old gang -- out of retirement to help him. I’ve seen this sort of stuff before; heck, EVERYone's seen this sort of stuff before. The attempts to make it rompish fell flat.

In short: no good.
