"Red" Movie Review

Frank, played by Bruce Willis, is retired, bored and lonely living off of his government pension in a nondescript suburb in an equally nondescript house.  The only joy in Frank's life are his frequent calls to the government pension processing center where he gets to talk to his case worker Sarah, played by Mary-Louis Parker.  Sarah is just as bored and lonely as Frank and marks her conversations with the unknown Frank and her spy novels as the only things in her life that are considered fun.  When something in Franks past forces Frank back into his old line of work and puts an unwitting Sarah in the middle of the intrigue, Frank and Sarah are forced to meet up an begin a journey into Franks past with some of the most interesting people that he used to work with.  Like Frank they have all been tagged RED...Retired Extremely Dangerous.  
I kept this review short and sweet so I didn't give away to much of the movie and I hope you find it as interesting as I did.  It's a good watch.  Enjoy.
