SEEING RED

Today's post is about the 2010 movie, Red. Red is supposedly a CIA acronym for Retired-Extremely Dangerous. The movie trailer promotes Red as sort of Space Cowboys meets Taken. While it has plenty of action and intrigue, Red is a romance. It even makes references to category romance novels.

No spoilers. You'll have to see the film. I will tell you, however, that there are two romances. One is between a couple (played by Mary Louise Parker and Bruce Willis) who've never met yet nuture a connection (pun intended) via telephone calls. One is a reunion romance between two older agents (Helen Mirren and Brian Cox). Events bring them together and running for their lives. And that's all I'll tell you about the plot.

See Red. It's delightfully entertaining. It has adventure, action, comedy, and--most of all--romance. I loved it! ♥
