A funny, fast-paced action comedy about some retired spooks who team up and go back to work when somebody starts shooting at them. The plot's just a setup for the bullets and wisecracks, but those old folks sure are having a good time. Mary-Louise Parker's the audience surrogate, the only member of the gang who's not a professional assassin, and 93-year-old Ernest Borgnine turns up briefly as the CIA's most senior top-secret archivist.
