Trailer Time: Red, starring Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren

First thought right out of the gate: It's still a little odd for me to see Bruce Willis playing a guy of retirement age.  Second thought: Holy crap this looks like a ton of fun. Red is based off the 2003 3-issue comic book written by insane mastermind, Warren Ellis. Starring Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary Louise Parker, and Morgan Freeman as a group of retired CIA agents looking to get some payback on their former bosses who've targeted them for assassination. 

The trailer is flat out awesome. Morgan Freeman as a leering dirty old man? Hilarious. Helen Mirren packin' an assault rifle? Check. Then again she did the same thing in Shadowboxer and that movie wasn't so good. Red looks awesome, though, and has something of a Coen Brothers vibe to it.  I have a feeling that the movie itself won't be nearly as zany as the trailer makes it appear, but we shall see.  Check out the trailer and let us know what you think!
