The old ruffians are awesome

This is a film where you don't need to care about the story, you don't need to pursue the scene, and even the lines can be erased, because all I want to see is the appearance of a few old actors playing tricks. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, look at this mix, even if you've lined up Hollywood's A-list stars, it's just this level. The director naturally doesn't need to talk nonsense, just let a few old ruffians play high.

It is not difficult to see that although the film is very explosive from beginning to end, it still maintains a calm and restrained style in temperament. Everyone is a powerful faction who has seen the world, and the trick of fighting and killing can't be easier. It doesn't matter if you are a group P or a one-on-one, you are always calm and messed up. Of course, this also has nothing to do with the identities of several agents in the film. It's just that Morgan Freeman died a bit sloppy, it could have been a little naughty. For example, Helen Mirren is so calm and romantic in hanging colors.

The story line is also simple and clear. When you come out and mix, you always have to pay it back. I really like the feeling of being happy and grieving like this. In addition, this film also tells us, don't listen to any bullshit that takes a step back, this world, when someone rides on your head, you don't need to give him face anymore, anyway, it's not killing others, or killing yourself. There is no so-called retreat in this arena at all. If you retreat, it will only push people even tighter. Then why not take a gamble?

In short, you don't need to think too much about watching such a film, there is a climax in almost six or seven minutes, and it's enough to finish high with the old ruffians!

RED quotes

  • Joe Matheson: We're gettin' the band back together.

  • [Frank calls Cooper on the phone; Cooper is told to stall him while the call is traced]

    Frank Moses: Here's the thing, Cooper. With age... comes a certain perspective. I'd be a liar if I said there wasn't a time when I was exactly like you. Blind ambition. Misplaced trust.

    William Cooper: Why are you telling me this?

    Frank Moses: It may help me to decide what to do next.

    Interrogation Surveillance Tech: [technician tracing the call whispering to Cooper] Just keep it going.

    William Cooper: Why? What are you thinking about?

    Frank Moses: Our business is a very hard one. But it was never the, uh... the killing or the stress, the bad pay that bothered me.

    William Cooper: Well, what was it, Frank?

    Frank Moses: It's how anything that you love... can be taken away from you. It taught me never to care. Never to invest. Then I met this woman. Sarah. And now you have her. Now I can't think of anything more horrible than to know that your enemies can hurt someone you love. The feeling is almost indescribable.

    [the trace completes, and the technician hands Cooper a printout]

    Frank Moses: You still there, Cooper?

    William Cooper: [horrified] You're at my house

    [Frank looks out the window into the yard where Cooper's wife and two children, unaware, are playing]

    Frank Moses: Almost indescribable, isn't it?

    William Cooper: [whispering] Please... Please don't hurt my family.

    Frank Moses: If anything happens to Sarah, I will rip everything you love out of your life. And then I'll kill you.
