Red the movie: Mercedes 600 Pullman and GAZ-14 Chaika

I'm not a big fan of shoot 'em up movies, so I reluctantly went to see Red.  It stars Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, and Brian "I look like Brando" Cox.  It's about a group of Cold Warriors (American, British, and Russian) reuniting for one more mission.

It's no Oscar contender, but it's very entertaining.  I was impressed with the Mercedes Pullman used to transport a faux African despot and I loudly yelped in the packed theater when a GAZ-14 Chaika, replete with jumpseat, made an appearance.

Here is the trailer.  The spinning cop car shot at 1:40 is my favorite special effect.
