At first, I really didn't wanna catch a movie since I was quite tired. My hubby though convinced me to watch it as he wanted to relax. After a very hectic and busy week, I gave in to his request. We caught the 5:30 showing in Town Center.

| My favorite part in the movie: John Malcovich, Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis |
As we were watching, I was beginning to enjoy it. I especially liked the acting of John Malcovich. He is a really great actor. He can act as anyone and everyone-- the bad guy, the good guy, the innocent, the victim, the culprit, anything! He is indeed a great actor and a blessing to Hollywood. In this movie, he plays as Marvin, the old comedian who is so into killing. He was simply funny. I especially enjoyed his outfit when he was wearing a suit, and over it a plastic. For what reason? I really don't know. But he was really hilarious throughout the movie.
As for Bruce Willis, I love this guy. He is one of the best actors whom I have encountered with on current showbiz and media. Not only is he handsome, but a gifted actor as well. Just like Malcovich, Willis can act as anyone too. In the movie, he plays as Frank Moses, an ex CIA agent who is out to kill the Vice President for corruption.
Movie Synopsis: (Taken from about.com)
Ex-CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) isn't adjusting well to retirement. He's completely bored, and the only bright spots in his otherwise dull days is when he calls Sarah (Parker) to complain about his missing retirement check. The missing check is just a ruse as he really wants someone - preferably female - to talk to. Soon the two are setting up a face-to-face meeting which Frank is absolutely delighted about. But his dream of a nice evening with the friendly Sarah is dashed after his home is riddled with bullets by a squad of hitmen. One thing leads to another and soon he's holding Sarah against her will in attempt to save her life - which is definitely not anyone's idea of a good first date.
So now Frank's forced out of retirement - not that he minds - and forced into seeking out his old (as in also retired) buddies from the CIA. Joe (Morgan Freeman) lives in a retirement home and seems to have adjusted relatively well. Victoria (Mirren) looks completely comfortable in her gorgeous home, arranging flowers and carrying on as though she's embraced retirement. But looks are deceiving as she's taking 'odd jobs' on the side that have nothing to do with putting together pretty floral arrangements. And Marvin (John Malkovich) is a loony conspiracy theorist who was given LSD on a daily basis while he was still in the CIA. Together they must figure out why they're being targeted by killers. And to complicate matters, a rising star in the CIA, William Cooper (Karl Urban, the youngster of the lead cast and the guy who gets to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Willis in one of the film's best action scenes), would like nothing better than to bring in Frank and his reactivated sidekicks.
