Frank Moses’s life is dull and predictable. The closest thing he has to real human contact is his monthly calls to Sarah who works distributing retirement checks. Frank perpetually destroys his check and reports them as missing so he can continue to call Sarah.

After a team of Souther African assassins try to kill Frank, he is quickly on the run trying to stay one step ahead of the assassins and not ruin whatever chances he might have at a real relationship with the quirky Sarah.

As a retired CIA agent, franks knows a thing or two about killing people and quickly re contact members of his former team. The smooth talked and smooth-voiced analysis/intel man Joe, the mentally deranged but talented combatant Marvin, and finally but not least the Femme Fatale assassin Victoria.

With time running out and ruthless and uber-competent company after them can the retired agents get to the bottom of the conspiracy against them?

One on level RED is a predictable and fairly unoriginal piece of action mayhem. If you can’t figure out how this plot is going to end then you are asleep. However this film is fun and well worth watching because it is not trying to be serious. This is a comedy and by using a plot that is well know, they devoted more time to the characters and the off-center world that they live in. This is a movie that demands you turn off your higher functions and just have fun.

It is based on a comic book, which I have never read, and the action is very unrealistic. That said, I laugher out loud many times and this film was genuinely fun to watch. The time flew by and I would watch this again in a moment.

If you go, do not test this film against how the world really works. Things like g-forces do not exist here. What does exist here is sharp dialogue and some wonderful performances.
