Red was exactly as silly as I was hoping it would be. I'm not a fan of action movies, with the impossibly exaggerated stunts and effects that have become such a cliche, but the delightful difference about Red is that its cast of legendary actors know exactly how silly the action and cliches are, and they embrace it and have fun with it, and bring the viewer along with them for the fun. Helen Mirren blazing away with a submachinegun is worth the price of admission all by itself, especially since there is no price of admission if you get the DVD from the library. And if you enjoy the movie, this is a rare instance of its sequel (Red 2) being as much fun as the first.
