Red

Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is a retired CIA asset, just trying to figure out how he's going to fill the rest of his life.  He's particularly fond of Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), a customer service representative at the agency responsible for sending him is pension checks, which "mysteriously disappear" forcing him to call.

Then, for some reason, a hired squad tries to kill him.  Unfazed, he heads to Sarah to pick her up, knowing those after him will get to her, too.  As the plot thickens, he enlists the help of his former associates, all retired, and all also on the same hit list.  Can the experience of age defeat the vigor of youth and get to the bottom of the conspiracy that goes to the top?

The film has a catchy feel - a modern action story without sacrificing dialog or character development.

Skyfall

It's interesting to watch a reboot of the James Bond franchise without them actually replacing the main character.  I can picture a film 20 years from now, with this Moneypenny and Q interacting with a new Bond thrice removed.

Film-wise, the story does feel significantly less epic than the two prior installments.  The action comes closer to home as M is threatened, and Bond must go off the grid and off the rails to protect her.
