Movies that feel likeRED (2010)

After surviving an assault from a squad of hit men, retired CIA black ops agent Frank Moses reassembles his old team for an all-out war. Frank reunites with old Joe, crazy Marvin and wily Victoria to uncover a massive conspiracy that threatens their lives. Only their expert training will allow them to survive a near-impossible mission -- breaking into CIA headquarters.

If you loved RED, the closest films we have are The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017), Spy (2015) and OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006). All three share RED's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008).
