Detailed item info
A group of former government assassins fights back against the CIA after they're targeted for knowing too much in this adaptation of Warren Ellis' acclaimed DC Comics graphic novels. Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) used to be a hired gun for the CIA. Along with Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich), and Victoria (Helen Mirren), Frank's specialty was carrying out contracts that the government didn't want the public to know about. These days, Frank and his old gang are all retired, but the powers that be are still concerned that they know too much, and dispatch a team of top assassins to ensure their silence. Now, Frank and his former team members realize that their only hope for survival is to break into CIA headquarters and expose the truth. But once they're in, the group uncovers evidence of a massive cover-up that promises to rock the very foundation of our government. Karl Urban, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, and Ernest Borgnine co-star., MIGHTY MACHINES teaches kids and adults about many different contraptions that vehicles used in various aspects of modern life. This edition concerns itself with different elements of cars one sees on the road every day.

"[A]n amusing, lightfooted caper about a team of aging CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement."
Variety - Justin Chang (09/29/2010)
"Mirren is most at ease in her role, handling her lines with aplomb and firing automatic weapons like she means it."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (10/15/2010)
"RED mixes high and low with a mad chemist's abandon....RED is given a hyper- and yet imaginatively stylized treatment by director Robert Schwentke..."
Movieline - Michelle Orange (10/13/2010)
"[T]his is a capable, experienced cast with extensive acting chops..." -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club - Tasha Robinson (10/14/2010)
"[W]hat keeps the movie going is the gameness of the cast, some of whom strike a perfect balance between self-consciousness and credulity."
Hollywood Reporter (10/19/2010)
"Ms. Parker is a graceful comedienne, and it's no news that Mr. Willis is a past master of delicate -- yes, delicate -- self-irony, so their characters generate welcome fizz in the course of a fraught relationship."
Wall Street Journal (10/15/2010)
3 stars out of 5 -- "Over 20 years since DIE HARD, Bruce Willis is still playing that guy -- sardonic, wisecracking, good at killing -- and it works a treat."
Empire - Angie Errigo (10/22/2010)
3 stars out of 5 -- "Willis and Parker make an appealing couple, the latter's neurotic energy fueling possibly the best onscreen partnership Willis has had since Moonlighting."
Total Film - Aubrey Day (10/01/2010)
"[I]t is Helen Mirren, as the demure Victoria Winslow, who is the real casting coup."
Sight and Sound - Sight and Sound Critic (12/01/2010)
3 stars out of 5 -- "THE EXPENDABLES proved it was profitable to assemble veteran stars....RED offers similar fare, though with a distinctly higher acting caliber."
Uncut - Michael Bonner (03/01/2011)
