RED, a personal review

RED was unexpectedly delightful and entertaining. A movie about retired agency veterans who are now deemed liabilities and targeted. The retirees however prove that they're stalwart as ever. The scenarios are somewhat whimsical but stay within the bounds of reality, somewhat.
Bar one certain scene which seemed a bit surreal and unmistakeably CGI-like, the action sequences were explosive and enthralling without being over the top. The scene in question is where Bruce Willis non-nonchalantly steps out of a skidding car; it looks more realistic in the movie than in the trailers.
The plot isn't too complex, but sufficient. RED is one of the few pleasant surprises of fall 2010.
