A 2010 action movie, praised for its brilliance, is gaining popularity on Netflix thanks to the outstanding performance by lead actor Bruce Willis, according to fans.
Despite not fitting the traditional mold of an action hero, Bruce Willis revolutionized the genre with his portrayal of John McClane in Die Hard. This film stands as a testament to the fact that heroes can have a witty and humorous side, earning it a well-deserved spot on our list of the greatest action movies ever made.
Thanks to films such as The Last Boy Scout, The Fifth Element, Armageddon, and several Die Hard sequels, he soon became an essential figure in the genre.
He was also featured in The Expendables 2, but a different collaboration film has become a popular hit on Netflix, much to the delight of fans.
Why Red is one of Bruce Willis’s best action movies
Red is like the Expendables for seniors, where a group of seasoned tough guys come together for a perilous assignment.
“Adapted from a DC Comic by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, the movie features Willis as a former black ops agent who reunites with his former team to defeat the assassin who is targeting him for elimination.”
The team includes well-known actors such as Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and even veteran Hollywood star Ernest Borgnine, who was in his 90s during filming.
Despite playing a role that the Die Hard star could easily do in his sleep, Willis effortlessly portrays a cool and convincing cold-blooded killer while also exhibiting intelligence and self-deprecation. His performance in the lead is consistently enjoyable, showcasing his talent in a role that he is well-suited for.
Red’s fans are additionally rejoicing over his performance on social media, as their support contributes to his rise on the streaming charts.
As stated in one post, “You know what movie is really good? Red with Bruce Willis.”
Another individual shared their opinion on Twitter, stating, “I believe that Red is the best Bruce Willis movie. It is highly entertaining.”
One person perfectly sums up the situation in a tweet, stating that Bruce Willis was impressively fearless in RED. He nonchalantly jumped out of a stolen police car while it was still in motion to take down Karl Urban.
Robert Schwentke directed Red, which was a successful box office hit, earning almost $200 million despite an estimated budget of $60 million. Its popularity led to a star-studded sequel in 2013.
If you’re interested in seeing the original version, it can now be watched on Netflix and is definitely worth 111 minutes of your time.
