As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Some retired CIA peeps get pulled into one last little job.

Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman, and some chick whose name eludes me. And another chick who was in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Not too bad.

I enjoyed this movie.

Bruce Willis is a retired CIA agent that in is love with a woman (Mary-Louis Parker) at the government's payroll processing center. When hit men show up to kill him, he runs off to save her figuring they'll be targeting anyone he's close to, and she's basically it.

Together, they head out to figure out who's behind the attacks, and along the way enlist the help of other retired spies.

They're also being tracked by the agency's number one spy, Karl Urban. His role was the most fascinating to me. On one hand, it was like a preview of Judge Dredd, and on the other I was thinking, "When did McCoy become such a badass"? Seriously, who remembers DeForest Kelly doing action films?

Gordo didn't mention it, but Richard Dreyfus and Ernest Borgnine are in it too. Oh, and the other woman is Helen Mirren. Tons of star power.

Absolutely worth seeing.
