Retired and extremely dangerous, is a a tongue n cheek comedy /action film. Bruce Willis plays a retired CIA agent who in the past has lead a dangerous exciting life as an operative in the field. He is a lonely and regularly phones his pension company to complain that his payment cheque has not arrived just to be able to speak to a female employee who he is trying to pluck up the courage to ask out.

Things get complicated when a crack squad are sent to kill him, as you would expect he kills all the squad out to get him and then embarks on a road trip picking up  the pension administrator and few ex-colleagues along the way. The colleagues are played by Helen Mirren, Morgan freeman, John Malcovich, and Brian Cox.

The film is full of plenty of action as well as comic moments and the team try to sort out the situation. Well worth 4 stars an enjoyable film.
