“The Retirement Plan” (** out of four) was a mostly lackluster action comedy about a young woman (Ashley Greene) who becomes embroiled in a criminal enterprise (Ron Pearlman, Jackie Earle Haley, and others) and turns to her retired dad (Nicholas Cage) and his friend (Ernie Hudson) for help to get her out and also swipe some of their money as well. Title is ironic given that film seems like little more than a paycheck and part of the “retirement plan” of a group of solid actors. Neither the best nor the worst of its type but you’ve seen it all before and much better.
