RED.

Neither Fish Nor Fowl.
That's how I found this movie (and I can't bring myself to call it a film!!!!!) It's a flash actioner with what it sees as a wry sense of humour, but for me it just didn't work. Nowhere near funny enough to be a comedy, but had the sly winks to avoid the thriller category too. Much as I enjoy the leads in this movie (Malkovich and Mirren particularly), dare I say it, Knight And Day nailed it better with Tom Cruises million dollar smile and Diaz charming her way through. But we're not here for them. We are here at the behest of Robert Schwentke. The tried and tested director of such fare as "Flightplan", "The Time Travellers Wife" and......well, that's about it!

 It just seems so unoriginal, old agents, coming out of retirement when their lives come under threat. And I like my action flicks to have a bit of pzazz a bit of flair and other than the efforts of Karl Urban, Helen Mirren, Brian Cox and Big Boy Bruce, this flick had little to offer me. Even the shot *ahem* at pathos at the end fell flat!
 Think I would have rather watched Brian Cox's film from 2008 called "Red", maybe I will next time!
