THE MOVIE \u2014 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Frank (BRUCE 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 \u2013 Joe (MORGAN FREEMAN), Marvin (JOHN MALKOVICH), and Victoria (HELEN MIRREN) \u2013 and sets out to prove that they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: RED<\/em><\/strong> is a fantastic ensemble action-comedy where the explosions are plentiful and the humor actually worked. It\u2019s also features the perfect cast with the likes of Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich showcasing their comedic acting chops while Morgan Freeman being, well, Morgan Freeman kicking ass. The supporting cast is also impressive from Karl Urban as the man chasing down Frank and crew; Richard Dreyfus as a crusty old gangster; and Mary-Louise Parker looking as cute as a button.<\/p>\n

Directed by Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler\u2019s Wife<\/em>, R.I.P.D.<\/em>), RED<\/em><\/strong> was a modest box office hit raking in nearly $200 million worldwide which brought on a sequel. This isn\u2019t exactly a top-notch action-comedy along the lines of a Lethal Weapon<\/em>, Beverly Hills Cop<\/em> or even Stakeout<\/em>, but it certainly has a 1980s feel to the simple story and style of both the action and comedy.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Lionsgate releases RED<\/em><\/strong> onto 4K Blu-ray presented with a 2160p ultra high-definition resolution and shown in its original 2.40 widescreen aspect ratio. This is actually a good movie to showcase in 4K as it has plentiful colors and on that front, the film does look good with a modest boost in color (this comes with both Dolby Vision and HDR10, the latter my system has) while detail is rather sharp. That said, the picture already was great on Blu-ray and there is an extra dimension, just don\u2019t expect a significant improvement.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

AUDIO \u2013 5.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Also getting an upgrade is the audio going from the DTS-HD MA 5.1 on Blu-ray to Dolby Atmos here on 4K. The former already sounded fantastic to begin with and the Atmos version is just as good if not adding a bit more depth and dynamic audio making use of every available channel with the bulk coming out of the center speaker with the dialogue which was generally clear while the action-centric sequences sounded amazing feeling every crash, bullet shot, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Overall, RED<\/em><\/strong> is an incredibly fun action-comedy that excels more on its likeable cast than the actual plot which isn\u2019t that great, but a serviceable vehicle for the aging cast, headlined by Bruce Willis whose more at home in this role than his last couple outings of Die Hard<\/em>, and John Malkovich is a hoot. This 4K release from Lionsgate offers great video and audio transfers that are a moderate upgrade over its Blu-ray counterpart.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
