Comic thriller adapted from a graphic novel: fair warning. The flimsy, presumptuous plot sweeps up a former black-ops agent (classified “red,” for retired, extremely dangerous), along with the Pension Services phone operator with whom he has been flirting long-distance, in a high-level earthshaking conspiracy. A paranoid John Malkovich in a supporting part is somewhat amusing, roughly a tenth as much as in Burn after Reading, and a brisk, brusque Rebecca Pidgeon in a still smaller part manages to make her lines sound almost like David Mamet. With Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Karl Urban, and Richard Dreyfuss; directed by Robert Schwentke. (2010) — Duncan Shepherd
