Comics graphic novels by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner, RED is an explosive action-comedy starring *Bruce Willis (Die Hard, Pulp Fiction),* Morgan Freeman (Se7en, The Dark Knight), John Malkovich and Helen Mirren (The Queen). Frank (Bruce Willis), Joe (Morgan Freeman), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) used to be the CIA's top agents - but the secrets they know just made them the Agency's top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. In this clip, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis and Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds) outrun assasins but when John Malkovich is called "old guy", he goes ballistic on a female spy.

	CONVICTION CONVICTION is the inspirational true story of a sister's unwavering devotion to her brother. When Betty Anne Waters' (two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank) older brother Kenny (Sam Rockwell) is arrested for murder and sentenced to life in 1983, Betty Anne, a Massachusetts wife and mother of two, dedicates her life to overturning the murder conviction. Convinced that her brother is innocent, Betty Anne puts herself through high school, college and, finally, law school in an 18 year quest to free Kenny. Betty Anne pores through suspicious evidence mounted by small town cop Nancy Taylor (Academy Award nominee Melissa Leo), meticulously retracing the steps that led to Kenny's arrest. Belief in her brother – and her quest for the truth. Watch trailer
