Netflix Top 100 - 45. - Red

Bruce Willis and a bunch of old coots come out of retirement and actually make a fine film.  I thought Willis' career was over after a few bombs like "Surrogates" and "Cop Out", but this movie is pretty good.  Willis stars as Frank Moses, a retired black-ops agent, who is bored with his life as a retiree in a small suburb.  He forms a bond with his case worker Sarah, played by Mary-Louise Parker and when his past comes back to threaten him again, Willis is forced to enlist the services of his old team.  And when I say old, I mean old...like pacemaker and Rascal old.

Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, and Willis taken on a bunch of deadly assassins sent to kill them, and despite it's crazy premise, the film is good.  I know it's a battle cry for members of the AARP, and with all the old baby boomers watching, this film cleaned up at the box office.  With good reason, it's a lot of fun to watch.  And it your Retired and Extremely Dangerous, you'll enjoy it even more.  Just Queue It!
