Sadly, we have not read Mr Ellis’ RED. This will have to change very soon.

Official Synopsis
Red is the story of Frank Moses , a former black-ops CIA agent, who is now living a quiet life. That is, until the day a hi-tech assassin shows up intent on killing him. With his identity compromised and the life of the woman he cares for, Sarah , endangered, Frank reassembles his old team (Freeman, Malkovich and Mirren) in a last ditch effort to survive.

What We Learned:
As we grow older, seeing well-aged professionals kick the snot out of wet-behind-the-ears whippersnappers becomes more poignant.

Why We’re Gonna Watch:
It’s right there in the post title. “Helen Mirren with a machine gun!” John Malkovich as a drugged out weapons expert, Morgan Freeman being Morgan Freeman, and Mary-Louise Parker being her sexy self are just gravy on that sandwich.

That’s right. A gravy sandwich!

When’s it coming?
