We picked this movie from a choice of Secretariat, Saw 3D, and Hereafter. Good call!

Bruce Willis plays a retired CIA agent mysteriously under attack. By his own CIA. Why? It's not clear until right near the end. Meanwhile, the "old man still got it" routine is played light-heartedly from start to finish. Willis' character squares off against a young talented CIA agent contracted to kill him as part of an "off the books" project. Willis reaches out to the Russian embassy for help, reconnecting with a Cold War era nemesis-turned-friend. 80-year-old Morgan Freeman's character unfortunately doesn't survive the movie, but does play an endearing part and makes a significant contribution. Add the wacky paranoid rantings of veteran John Malkovich, plus an old flame with a penchant for king-size guns, and an unusual role for Richard Dreyfus. It mixes nicely into an "action comedy," eliciting a good chuckle every five minutes or so, providing a couple of genuine stomach-tensing moments, and ultimately flowering new romance for several main characters. So perhaps "action romantic comedy" is the right term!
