Red (3+ stars)

Red PosterI supposed it’s RED, all caps. RED has an all-star ensemble cast, or is that old-star? Of course, who doesn’t love Bruce Willis or Morgan Freeman. There’s a lot to like here, but it just didn’t overcome my recurring disbelief, of calls put-through, to empty city streets, to vast explosive conspiracies.

This might make an interesting double-bill with Salt, another comic-book-based explosion-fest which is less cute. You can see why Hollywood loves comic books, er, graphic novels. Better comic books than old TV shows, I guess.

[The plus in my rating is for Merri, who liked Red more than I did.]
