On October 15, 2010, the movie Red was released to theaters with only average reviews from critics. The movie was loosely based on a DC Comics’ series of the same name. The movie has some significant star power including Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Richard Dreyfuss and Ernest Borgnine. While the comic strip was fairly violent, the movie infused comedy into the action drama. The movie grossed over $90 million in the United States.
Bruce Willis has retired from acting after his diagnosis in 2022 of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). His first symptoms were related to a condition termed aphasia, which means a difficulty in writing, speaking, reading and understanding. He and his family are being open about the diagnosis to bring more awareness to the condition. Morgan Freeman continues to be active in films at the age of 87 while becoming a beekeeper on his 124-acre ranch in Mississippi.
