15 of the most unlikely action heroes in movie history
When comedy and drama stars turn to fist fights and shoot-outs
Helen Mirren, 'RED'
Actresses with the title "Dame" in front of their name don't normally appear in films alongside Bruce Willis where they shoot people in the face. Mirren is different though. After a lengthy career tackling Shakespeare, "Prime Suspect," Peter Greenaway's films and "The Queen," the timeless beauty found a new calling with 2010's old-people-with-guns action-comedy "RED," where she wields a sniper rifle and a submachine gun as naturally as she hoisted her Best Actress Award on Oscar night 2007.
