30 Second Movie Review:RED

I wish i could say better things about this film.I felt no dislike for it,but had no real affection either.Based on a Warren Ellis comic miniseries about CIA operatives who are classified as Retired,Extremely Dangerous.Bruce Willis plays Moses,the most efficient,deadly Black Ops Specialist,now retired.Suddenly his humdrum retiree existence is rattled by some assasins,and he has to figure out who is trying to kill him and why.In the course of the story he picks up a love interest,and reunites with some other former comrades from his previous career.John Malkovich is funny as a deadly but paranoid Operative,and Karl Urban is good as usual as the current Black Ops Specialist trying to take Moses down.I felt that the tone was a little light for my taste,and most of the action scenes were goofy rather than thrilling(although the Willis/Urban fist fight was top notch).Overall not bad,not good,2.5 stars.
