Plot[edit]
Frank Moses (Willis), a retired black-opsCIA agent, lives alone in Cleveland, Ohio. Lonely, Frank creates opportunities to talk to Sarah Ross (Parker), a worker at the General Services Administration's pension office in Kansas City, Missouri, by tearing up his pension checks and calling to say they haven't arrived.
One night, an assassination squad raids Frank's house and attempts to kill him but he easily wipes them out. Knowing they will have tapped his phone, he believes Sarah will be targeted. In Kansas City Sarah refuses to go with him so he kidnaps her. Meanwhile CIA agent William Cooper (Urban) is assigned by his boss Cynthia Wilkes (Pidgeon) to hunt down and kill Frank.
To find out who is targeting him Frank tracks down his old associates for help. He goes to New Orleans, Louisiana, and visits his CIA mentor Joe Matheson (Freeman), who tells him the same hit squad murdered a New York Timesreporter. An agent posing as a police officer tries to abduct Sarah but Frank returns in time. Cooper chases them but Frank tricks the police into arresting Cooper and escapes with Sarah. The two head to New York City and find clues left by the reporter which lead them to a hit list.
They find Marvin Boggs (Malkovich), another old associate and a paranoid conspiracy theorist, who tells them the people on the list, including Frank and Marvin, are connected to a secret 1981 mission in Guatemala. A pilot on the list, Gabriel Singer (Remar), tells them the mission involved extracting a person from a Guatemalan village. Singer is shot by a helicopter-borne machine-gunner and the team escapes as Cooper closes in.
Ex-Russian secret agent Ivan Simanov (Cox), in return for a favor, helps Frank infiltrate the CIA headquarters archive. Henry the records keeper (Borgnine) has much respect for Frank and simply hands him the Guatemala file. Frank confronts Cooper in his office and the two fight. Frank is wounded, and Joe arrives to help extract the team. They hide out in the home of former wetwork agent Victoria Winslow (Mirren), who treats Frank's wound and joins the team.
The file leads them to Alexander Dunning (Dreyfuss), an arms trafficker. Joe poses as a buyer and enters Dunning's mansion with Frank and Marvin while Victoria and Sarah keep watch outside. They interrogate Dunning, who tells them the target for extraction was Lieutenant Robert Stanton (McMahon), whose Senator father organised the extraction via Dunning. Stanton is now Vice President and has ordered the assassination of people involved in the mission to hide the fact that he massacred village civilians.
The FBI surround Dunning's mansion. Cooper tries to negotiate Frank's surrender, and Frank tells him about the Vice President's treachery. The terminally ill Joe pretends to be Frank, walks outside, and is killed by the Vice President's bodyguard squad. The confusion, as well as Victoria's cover fire, buys the team time to leave the mansion but Sarah is captured. Frank calls Cooper from Cooper's own family's home phone and warns him against harming Sarah.
The team kidnaps Stanton to trade for Sarah. Dunning arrives at the meeting point. Dunning injures Stanton, revealing himself and Wilkes to be behind the assassinations and that Stanton was never involved. Disgusted with Wilkes' corruption, Cooper pretends to arrest Frank but instead shoots Wilkes. Marvin and Victoria kill Dunning's bodyguards, and Frank crushes Dunning's windpipe. Cooper lets Frank's team go. As they leave, Sarah is eager to accompany Frank on a new mission.
Ivan reminds Frank of his favor. A few months later, Frank and Marvin are fleeing Moldovan troops with a stolen nuclear device, with Marvin wearing a dress in a wooden wheelbarrow being pushed by Frank.

Production[edit]
Gregory Noveck, a representative of DC Comics working in Hollywood to get their titles made into films, wanted the comic developed, but Warner Bros. was not interested. The creators of the comic exercised their right to go elsewhere, but this required approval from all divisions of Warner Bros., including television, before it could be approved. After several years, in 2008, Noveck was allowed to take the project to Mark Vahradian at Di Bonaventura Productions. Unusually, this made it the first film from DC not produced by Warner Bros., after the purchase.[5]
In June 2008, Summit Entertainment announced plans to adapt Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner's Red. Red was adapted for the big screen by brothers Erich and Jon Hoeber, who also wrote the adaptations of Whiteout and Alice. The project was produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura (GI Joe, Transformers).[6]
By April 2009, Bruce Willis was reportedly in discussions with Summit to take the starring role of Frank Moses.[7] It was reported in July 2009 that Morgan Freeman was in talks to co-star alongside Willis in the film.[8] Also in July 2009, Robert Schwentke, the director of The Time Traveler's Wife and Flightplan, was in negotiations to direct Red.[9] In August 2009, Schwentke confirmed to MTV News that he was on board. He stated that he loved the script, but differences existed between the comic and the movie, stating; 'It's very funny, which the comic book isn't .. It's not as violent as the comic book,' and 'The script that I've read is obviously different from the comic, because I don't think the comic gives you enough for a two-hour movie.'[10]
In November 2009, Helen Mirren was reported to work alongside Freeman and Willis in the film.[11] Also in November 2009, John C. Reilly and Mary-Louise Parker were in negotiations to join the cast. Reilly would play a retired CIA agent who is paranoid that everyone is out to kill him. Parker would play the romantic interest, a federal pension worker who becomes embroiled in the Willis character's struggle to stay alive.[12] In the same month, Julian McMahon, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Dreyfuss, and Brian Cox entered negotiations to join the cast.[13]
In December 2009, creator Warren Ellis stated on his mailing list: 'Read the RED script. Not bad. Not the book, but not bad. Funny. Especially when you know the casting. Very tight piece of work. Talked to the producers last week. They're all kind of giddy over the casting coups. Who wouldn't want to see Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle?'[14] Also in December 2009 Summit Entertainment announced a release date of October 22, 2010.[15] The same month, James Remar was cast in an unspecified role,[16] in addition to Karl Urban as 'Cooper'.[17] In January 2010, reportedly John Malkovich had signed to star opposite Bruce Willis, replacing John C. Reilly, who exited the role in late December.[18]
Principal photography began on January 18, 2010, in Toronto, Canada.[19]Red was shot in and around the Toronto metropolitan area for nine weeks before moving on to the road and ending in New Orleans in late March for the final two weeks of principal photography.[19] Filming in the French Quarter of New Orleans commenced in March 2010.[20] Additional photography was shot for a post-credits scene in Louisiana in August 2010.[21]
Release[edit]
A teaser trailer for Red was released in June 24, 2010.[22] The first full trailer debuted in July 22, 2010 at the San Diego Comic-Con International.[23] The film premiered at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on October 11, 2010.[24][25]Red was released on Blu-ray and DVD on January 25, 2011.[26]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
Red has a 72% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 193 reviews and an average rating of 6.4/10. The consensus reads: 'It may not be the killer thrill ride you'd expect from an action movie with a cast of this caliber, but Red still thoroughly outshines most of its big-budget counterparts with its wit and style.'[27]Metacritic gave the film a score of 61/100 based on a normalized rating of 37 reviews.[28] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A-' on an A+ to F scale.[29]
Justin Chang of Variety stated Red is 'An amusing, light-footed caper about a team of aging CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement'.[30] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter stated 'Although tailor-made for genre fans, it benefits from flavors of humor and romance that keep its appeal from being fanboy-only'.[31]
Roger Ebert gave the film two stars out of four, stating that it is 'neither a good movie nor a bad one. It features actors that we like doing things we wish were more interesting.'[32]A. O. Scott of The New York Times said, 'It is possible to have a good time at Red, but it is not a very good movie. It doesn't really try to be, and given the present state of the Hollywood economy, this may be a wise choice'.[33]Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said, 'It's not that it doesn't have effective moments, it's that it doesn't have as many as it thinks it does. The film's inescapable air of glib self-satisfaction is not only largely unearned, it's downright irritating'.[34]
Box office[edit]
On its opening weekend, Red earned an estimated $22.5 million on around 4,100 screens at 3,255 locations, coming in second behind Jackass 3-D.[35] The film closed in theaters on February 3, 2011, grossing over $90 million in the United States and $108.6 million in foreign markets. The film received an overall gross of $199 million worldwide.[2]

The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $148.1 million worldwide.

Also, if you're new to torrents, don't forget that you'll need a torrent client to get these files.
All torrent sites below are working unless otherwise noted, at least as of the last update to this page. Let us know (feedback@lifewire.com) if we need to adjust a listing.
The Top Torrent Sites
These seven sites made the top of the list. They're not the only torrent sites out there, but they are among the best.
This torrent site is a classic, and one of the most popular on the web. TPB has been around in one incarnation or another for a long time and the torrents here are, and have always been, trusted.
Icons on each download help users quickly see if a seeder is trusted or a VIP which helps to ensure safe downloads.
TPB occasionally moves around. If you're still experiencing issues reaching TPB, try these listings on the ProxyBay. It's possible you'll find another way into the site.
This torrent site is for movie enthusiasts. It's full of quality, high-resolution video torrents.
Top 10 lists help users find the most popular movies on the site, and a detail page for the download includes a variety of information from the size of the file and the date it was added to actor information, and the number of seeders and leechers for the download.
At RARBG, it’s about quality, not quantity.
If you're after older or more obscure torrents, 1337X might be for you. Their torrent database isn't nearly as large as some others, but it might have just what you're after. The front page is regularly updated with current and popular information about torrents, torrenting, and categories of interest.

The level of advertising you’ll encounter on this site is frustrating. Links often require two clicks..one to bring up an ad (in a separate window) and one to actually access the information you want. However, once you get passed the advertising, the search result pages contain lots of useful information.
This is the 'no fake torrent' site you've been waiting for. The site actually pays its users $1 per fake torrent they find, and claims to have more than 5 million verified torrents.
Splinter cell conviction download. You’ll find current and popular files to download in movies, anime, software, games, and music, as well as other categories, and a Top 100 list lets you know what’s most popular with the most seeders and peers.

Focusing exclusively on movies, YTS.am (or YTS.ag) has an easy-to-use layout and a wide variety of titles both old and new. The torrents themselves are known to be easy on bandwidth, which will make those with data caps happy.
Nokas 2010 Film Torrent Download
YTS.am is the unofficial successor to the now-defunct YTS/YIFY group, which closed its virtual doors in 2015. The current site has a massive user base, too, which helps the bittorrent protocol work more efficiently.
We love the super straightforward torrent detail page at TorrentDownloads. That would be reason enough to give this one a try but the big database and high quality of torrents make it a great choice.
Users can find current torrents in a variety of categories. The ability to rate files and leave comments on files helps to reduce the number of fake files found on the site. An Advanced Search option also allows users to narrow the field of possible returns by category, provider, and status.
You don't want to miss this site in your torrent search. Users report the size of their database is impressive and the frequency of legitimate torrents is enough to keep them coming back.
It’s easy to quickly determine whether a torrent is worth downloading. Internal lists show the date added, size, seeder and leechers, as well as a health meter for each file. The information page for each download also provides additional information about the file.
Other Torrent Search Sites
There are way more than just seven torrent sites out there, of course. We’ve compiled the following list, just in case you want to explore beyond the ones above.
The advertisements on many of these sites are often of the NSFW variety. You should use caution when accessing these sites from public computers or with children present.
- Popcorn Time: Popcorn Time is a site dedicated to streaming movies for free, so in the strictest of terms, it's not a torrent download site. However, if you don't mind watching movies on your PC, you'll find plenty of options here, and you can watch them as often as you like.
- Torrentz2: This is like a super torrent index, searching for torrents across dozens of other torrent sites. You can see the complete list in their Sites in our index page.
- ETTV Torrents: This is a good, active site that includes television episodes. The site search functionality is good enough and the site has a nice, clean design.
- Torrent Galaxy: A decent database of torrents, good search features, and a clean website design make Torrent Galaxy another site you want to include in your search.
- KAT: This is the official torrent site! Don't be tricked by mirrors of the same name.
- EZTV: You won't find every torrent you're after here, but users say the quality of the torrents you do find is consistently good. This site, like others, can go down sometimes; a little bit of patience will likely see it back up.
- Torrents.me: This meta torrent site isn't too special among all the others but we love the amazing dashboard on their home page. If you're a data nerd and a torrent fan, you'll appreciate what they've done.
- Monova: A nice, clean design is reason enough to spend time on this torrent site. Advertising can be an issue at times but if you can get over that, it's a great torrent site.
- Toorgle: This is another meta torrent search engine, pulling the databases in from over 450 torrent sites into one place.
- Seedpeer: With a sizable database of torrents, Seedpeer is and always has been a great place to search. The interface isn't as nice as some others, but it's still a very usable site.
- TorrentFunk: This is a pretty popular torrent site, in no small part due to its verified status indication, as well as user reviews.
- Zooqle: This is another torrent site you don't want to skip in your search. Users love the size of their database and the frequency of legitimate torrents.
- BitTorrent Database: With a huge database and pretty clean interface that's devoid of advertisements, it's no wonder this multi-million strong collection of torrents is one we frequently hear about.
- YourBittorrent: The clean interface is a big reason to try this torrent searcher..especially if you're new to BitTorrent.
- 7tor: 7tor appears to be a Russian website, though the greatest traffic to this site comes from Pakistan. However, the site is minimally maintained, and only available if enough users donate to support the monthly hosting for the site. It does appear that torrents are still being added to the site, so you may be able to find obscure titles here.
- rutracker: Another site that appears to be Russian, this site is currently active and appears to have current torrents available. Rutracker also offers distribution awards, a hall of fame, and more.
- Pirateiro: This English-language site, offers a variety of downloads, including current and older files. A word cloud at the top of the home page lets users know what the most popular searches on the site are.
- Nyaa: Nyaa is a Chinese-language site that also seems to have some English- and other languages available in downloads. You can easily track seeders and peers on the downloads you find here, as well as the ability to comment on files.
- ArenaBG: This Bulgarian site was restricted in Bulgaria. It’s now based in Frisco, Texas. The site is fairly easy to use, once you translate it to your preferred language, and offers both current downloads and older files.

Lifewire does not condone illegal sharing of copyrighted material. While P2P file sharing technology itself is completely legal, many of the files traded through P2P are indeed copyrighted. Uploading these copyrighted files puts you at risk of a civil lawsuit in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK, at a minimum.
Lawsuits can be targeted at individual users or groups of users. These P2P civil lawsuits are very real and, whether or not they are successful, they are often an extreme financial and emotional burden on the defendants.
