An average movie

I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but with such a cast, I really had to watch it at some point. Eventually, it was a decent action flick, no less and no more than that. There was indeed a great cast (Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, Karl Urban, Morgan Freeman, Ernest Borgnine, John Malkovich, Brian Cox, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss) and they all seemed to have a lot of fun with this concept. There were also some decent action scenes and I really enjoyed a few scenes with some witty dialogues. Still, who am I kidding? It was nothing amazing though. Indeed, the plot was rather disappointing and really pedestrian and it felt as if the makers stop caring about developing the concept beyond then 'Ok, let's get some old actors together who would be some retired top spies'. Eventually, even though the material was pretty cool and the cast was quite awesome, there was a certain laziness to the whole endeavor and that's too bad since it could have been much better than this. Eventually, they of course had to come up with a sequel but it turned out to be a flop which was hardly surprising. Still, I had a good time watching this movie, I was entertained throughout the whole thing and I think it is definitely worth a look but don't expect anything really amazing.
