A cracking film! I'm not gonna bore you with the synopsis, it's here on IMDb anyway! The 4 RED operatives, Willis, Malkovich, Freeman and Mirren, all work very well together and seem like they had fun shooting this movie, which comes across perfectly within the film.
The action and stunts are very impressive, considering its the same team that brought you The Dark Knight and The Bourne Ultimatum, while the comedy is refreshing and from a new angle, older people as hit-man/woman.
A rather under-rated and overlooked performance from the brilliant Karl Urban, as William Cooper, the man sent to catch the RED operatives, and fantastic comedy relief from Mary-Louise Parker, who plays Sarah Ross, and a memorable cameo from Ernest Borgnine, who plays a records keeper despite his most current role (albeit Voice Acting) being the extremely forgetful and docile 'Mermaid Man' in Spongebob Squarepants.
Definitely worth a watch for all the reason above, it's now in my Top 25 films and if you need and more persuasion I'll say one thing, there's a pig teddy with a rather intriguing purpose ;)
