![]() Directed by Olivier Megaton. With Jason Statham, Robert Knepper, Natalya Rudakova, François Berléand. Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina. Red (2. 01. 0) YIFY subtitles. John Mc. Clane, Cyrus the Virus, God and The Queen team up and kill people for laughs. A retired CIA operative, hunted by his own people, reunites his old team for one last mission. It's certainly not an original story, mashing together ideas that we've seen before in the Bourne series, The Expendibles and The Losers. It is also the 4th to feature men going on a mission, and the 5th with a plot involving the CIA. I couldn't help but feel skeptical. But then I noticed the cast list and realised that this is meant to be a comedy. At this point I saw the project in a different light. Clearly this was going to be a film where story and sense came second to cast and chemistry. From 'Die Hard' to 'Sin City', Bruce Willis' good- guy- having- a- bad- day routine has evolved little, but it does not need to be fixed. His performance in 'RED' is familiar, but he is never less than entertaining. Apollo 16 was the tenth manned mission in the United States Apollo space program, the fifth and penultimate to land on the Moon and the first to land in the lunar.

With Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, Richard Jenkins, Viola Davis. A married woman realizes how unhappy her marriage really is, and that her. This time he brings with him an air of self- parody. Throughout the film he maintains a carefree poker- face, as though he's done this so many times over the years that he can afford to be relaxed. There are valid attempts at making Willis seem more normal, and these can be quite amusing. The first 1. 0 minutes, which show him adjusting to retirement and aimlessly wandering around the house in his dressing gown, are reminiscent of Carl Fredricksen's first appearance as an old man in 'Up'. Deeper characterisation, however, only serves to show how abnormal he really is, and it is a delight to see him in action. With the exception of Willis, the cast is made up of actors who have no business waving guns around. Helen Mirren was an inspired choice, as if making up for the predictability of Willis' casting. Flower- arranging OAP on the outside and bad- ass hit- woman on the inside, Mirren is strangely suited to action. There is something about the juxtaposition of her gran- like demeanour with exaggerated violence that makes her very funny and extremely watchable. John Malkovich is particularly entertaining in his performance as a mentally questionable conspiracy theorist who refuses to retire peacefully. After the numerous roles he has played with an undercurrent of insanity, it is hilarious to see him go full- on howling mad. It is not often that Malkovich gets to flex his comedy muscles, but he steals every scene in which he appears. Morgan Freeman is unfortunately the weakest part of this alternative A- Team, not because of his performance but because he is under- utilised. He has little action time and even less characterisation. There is a glimpse at pervy- old- man behaviour (which could have been funny) and a mention of health problems (which could have been touching) but these are quickly forgotten. It is as though the writers were distracted, trying too hard to develop a secondary storyline involving Willis' romance with a pension office clerk. This subplot adds little and distracts from the main picture. It is a pity, because the wasted effort could have been more effectively put into making the story tighter, or on giving Morgan Freeman more screen time. Overall, this is a good laugh, even if you won't remember it afterwards. Taking things less seriously and trying less hard to be cool means that 'RED' is more fun than 'The Expendibles', and less embarrassing too. Stallone can mumble all he wants about. The Avengers YIFY subtitles. Have movies become so bad these days that a merely well- executed totally formulaic film, like . Its first twenty- minutes is mostly watching the story of a robotic English dandy (C3- P0) argue with a chirping rolling trashcan (R2- D2), but amazingly enough Lucas made that unique and crazy idea entertaining.

It was entertaining, compelling, yet it explored complex moral ideas, and its plot went in innovative directions. Did anyone know that ? And did anyone NOT know that ? Uncertainty about how a plot will be resolved is what once kept the audience hooked, not the continual spectacle of fights and explosions. In fact, look at the IMDb Top 2.

Once you've gotten used to the 3- D, the special effects, the digital surround sound, you'll see that the film is predictable, the jokes are so- so, and the violence of the fights and of the long climactic end battle actually gets kind of boring.
