RED (2010)
Retired: Extremely Dangerous. I love this film, seen it countless times since it's release a decade ago.
A superb cast - Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, Morgan Freeman, Brian Cox, Richard Dreyfuss, Ernest Borgnine - complement a witty script and great action set pieces.
Although it may not be a killer thrill ride it's pacing and comic book stylings keep things moving swiftly and the fact it has a glorious aging cast playing CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement makes it feel like the movie i wanted the original disappointing Expendables to be.
