Ayn Rand qua professional assassin

[George H. Smith]

For those of you who have wondered what Ayn Rand would have been like as a professional assassin -- and I'm sure there must be lots of you out there -- here is a clip with Helen Mirren from the movie "RED" (i.e., retired and extremely dangerous).

Some advice given by Ayn to Barbara in an early scene from the Showtime movie, perhaps?

I'm confused. I thought Rand was a professional assassin.

[Rich Engle]

Oh, jeez . . .

Yup.

What a nifty movie. It was a send up of all the movies about retired "spooks", you have ever seen.

John Malkovich was particularly funny as the paranoid Marving Boggs and Morgan Freeman who played an 80 year old ex-spook dying of stage 4 liver cancer who could still kick ass at an advanced age. Brian Cox was first rate as an ex-kgb operative who was the lover of the character Victoria, played by the Queen Herself, Helen Mirrin. If you need some cheering up, do see this movie.

Thanks, I was wondering.
