About this movie

Frank (Willis) is a former black-ops CIA agent living a quiet life alone... until the day a hit squad shows up to kill him. With his identity compromised, Frank reassembles his old team -- Joe (Freeman), Marvin (Malkovich) and Victoria (Mirren) -- and sets out to prove that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. Stand back and watch the bullets fly in this explosive action-comedy that critics call a rip-roaring good time. 2010 Summit Entertainment, LLC. All Rights Reserved

Ratings and reviews

Post cold war spy action-adventure/comedy. Gimmicky but very entertaining. I laughed a couple of times and half smiled throughout, but mainly at how good I'm getting at predicting what happens next, as this kind of movies are becoming just variations of the same old tricks. Watch Air America (Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr) also, and The Man That Stared at Goats (George Clooney), it takes up a notch in originality. But do go for this one also, it will keep you amused for almost 2 hours.

Just the right amount of comedy with some impressive action scenes. In fact despite good reviews I went into this film expecting nothing more than average but this film more than delivers. Even manages a good twist at the end. A good script, no real laugh out loud moments but will certainly make you chuckle. John Malkovich is as always on form as the conspiracy nut job and Bruce Willis delivers an excellent John Mcclane cameo throughout the film. Def recommended and at 99p it is a cheap way to spend an evening.

Had a great potential with such a good line of cast, but it failed to deliver. If you have £1.49 that is dwindling in your pocket, do yourself a favour and buy a bag of chips instead. The poop in the toilet later will be better than this film.
