Customer Ratings & Reviews

I heard of this movie from a friend and i decided to buy it. I am so glad that I did!!! This movie has a lot of action, comedy and some light romance! You can't go wrong with a movie lime this! And it has great actor's! Such as Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren!!!! Now that's a cast!! I highly recommend this movie, you really can't go wrong. And did I mention Morgan Freeman? Yup he's in it as well. Retired extremely dangerous. Red. That alone should get people running to buy this great movie!!!

I bought the 4K UHD disk with my Sony UDP-X800 player because I wanted to see the difference between DVD, BD and BD UHD on my LG 4K tv. Surprisingly the BD and DVD looked very similar with the BD getting the edge. This is likely due to the players upconversion. This BD, however, provided a quantum leap in quality. Both saturation and resolution were remarkable. Given the choice, and the equipment, I will buy 4K UHD from now on. Now; about the movie. This is a great vehicle for a bunch of Hollywood egos to ham it up in front of the camera. All four stars do an fantastic job but actually Hellen Mirren is the standout. I expect it is because this is a departure from her normal casting. So as to avoid spoilers I will simply say that this is a great movie combining serious drama, personal demons, action, and some comedic reliefs. If you like action movies, you can’t go wrong with this one.

I haven't felt as good watching a movie since 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean. Unexpected lines and juxtapositions lift this tale. Okay, so the story is very improbable...not to worry given that part of the movie experience is suspending our disbelief. Bruce Willis charms. John Malkovich is humorously irascible. Morgan Freeman gives us his usual likable best. Helen Mirren wields an assortment of guns. And Mary-Louise Parker shows us how facial expressions and muffled sounds can turn a story line and spice up a story. There's not a single member of Willis's reunited team I wouldn't like to be around. There they are, seeking first why Bruce Willis is in the crosshairs, then why seemingly random people are getting murdered and finally bringing the evil-doers to a just end.

Frank (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 is his calls to the government pension processing center when he gets to talk to his case worker, Sarah (Mary-Louis Parker). Sarah is as bored and lonely as Frank and marks her conversations with the unknown Frank and her spy novels as the only things fun in her life. When something in Frank's past forces him back into his old line of work and puts an unwitting Sarah in the middle of the intrigue, Frank and Sarah begin a journey into his past and the people with whom he used to work. Like Frank they are all RED

We bought the Sony UBP-X 800 4k UHD Blue Ray player and I wanted a 4k HDR disc to try. The plot of the movie is formulaic but the acting is great if not over the top at times. The cast does a wonderful job of making us believe their characters (in my opinion Hellen Mirren steals the show). The directing takes the action way over the top bringing a comedic effect just from the number of spent shells shots. John Matkovic is great as the crazy member. Morgan Freeman brings class to the store and Bruce Willis does his usual. What impressed me most about this movie was the 4k HDR format. OMG the video quality was freakin awsome! We did have a problem with the disc in that 11:17 into Chapter 2 freeze then skip to 12:22 repeatably. Best Buy exchanged the BD with no problem and the second was fine.

The product was not in the store and the order was placed and yet canceled later because it never did a promised date and was too far out and was always in a back order status.

This review may be better placed as a review for the format more than the movie content. While I love the cast and story of the RED. series I wanted a disc to try with my new hb tv and Sony UHD blue rag player. The HDR color was amazing and the native 4k resolution seemed better than real life - not a pixel to be seen! Unfortunately my elation was supplanted by disappointment when the movie started speg blocking and stuttering. A return trip to Bes + Boy for a straight-up exchange resolved the issue. I don't know if this will be typical of the UHD HDR format but I will be returning to pick up RED. 2 for sure.

Opening Scene: The mundane daily routine of a retired CIA Covert Operative is exposed – it was routine. The show is most likely one of the best spy – counter spy flicks that I have seen. With a superb blend of “senior” casting, sensitive directorship, and a very well-written plot-line of pure table-pounding action/intrigue entertainment this is the type of film you will visit again, and there is a twist around every corner that is guaranteed to keep your interest up! It is interesting that the plots star character, Frank [Francis], is a pure romantic with a hard exterior but is soft and gooey on the inside.

It is rare to find a movie that is packed with so many stars of the screen and is not a movie in which the stars carry a flimsy or non existent story line (script). This movie Red has a solid script and story line and so many stars of the screen that I had to take my shoes off and use my toes to count all of them. I found it amazing that none of the stars stole the screen over the others and the camera loved watching them work together a team to provide a very rich experience that sucked me into the movie.

I heard my mom loved the Red movies so I got her the 4K disc for Christmas and she loves it!

Excellent image quality, easy to setup using provided documentation and setup disk.. Flexible computer connectivity using either a VGA or HDMI cable. I chose to use a HDMI cable. Monitor image very detailed from edge to edge. I was able adjust display image to my liking using ample on-board monitor controls. Sales representative was very helpful and well informed on product specifications. I am very satisfied with this product.

Action and high energy with the right amount of humor. Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman , John Malkovich, Mary Louise Parker and Helen Mirren are perfectly casted. This is a movie that you can watch time and time again. If you like ensemble action movies, then you will love RED (Retired Extremely Dangerous).

I must admit the first time I've seen this movie was in theaters and I couldn't get into it. Watching this movie for a second time after all these years but in 4K with a brighter, colorful picture and enhanced sound had me really enjoying the movie! This 4K release is phenomenal! It had me experience this movie in a new and improved light! Fans will be pleased.

The characters are all familiar and in some cases play an unexpected roll. The end is not surprising but the path taken keeps you on your toes and completely involved. Bruce Willis is predictable and his "older friends" are all playing their characters extremely well. I would recommend this for people from teens to old age. Actually purchased a second copy for a friend.

I admit when I first watched this movie I didn't expect much. I think I went to see it at a dollar theater to pass some time but it turned out to be a really fun trip. I found this in the bargain bin at Best Buy during Christmas and decided to get it for a family member since I figured they (like me) would not have sought it out on their own.

We really did not know what to expect when this was purchased.... Saw the lineup of actors and figured it was going to be good.... But no, it was a great movie with good characters and action throughout. I am warning you to be careful when buying this movie.... You will go out and buy Red 2 :)

Saw this at the theater when it released, had to own it...now own it and its nearly equal sequel: RED 2. I wont go into plot, action, or such critical review of the movie, we all know there are better places for those details. However, suffice it to say that this movie delivers and the disc does not disappoint...a must have for the avid movie collector.

Upscaled 4k. Not native 4k HDR , but it looks pretty good. Can’t compare to the Blu Ray version as I have not seen that one. Really good Atmos track. Worthy buy in 13 dollar range.

Never would I have thought to put these geniuses in a movie together. Though big surprise Bruce Willis is in this kind of movie = no but he makes it work cause his character is different from that of his other kick butt movies (die hard series). But love Helen Mirren’s character :-)

one of the best all around light hearted action movies of all time. perfect for someone who wants actions, but not all the gore that goes with most. my mom loves this movie, in fact, this copy was for her for mothers day. need i say more. love this movie, its always on the list for when company comes over or we just want something fun & exciting to watch
