This gives the films first half hour a charming, ambling feel, but becomes increasingly awkward as Red continually veers between high energy and low.

The movie has an appealing smoothness, and a nice blend of comedy and action to go with its wonderful chemistry.

This is a fun film to watch, but not as fun as it should have been.The pace is too slow and the plot too convoluted.
