The film was released on October 15, 2010. In the film version, the title is derived from the designation of the status of agent Frank Moses , meaning "Retired, Extremely Dangerous". Frank Moses , a... former black-ops CIA agent, is retired and living a quiet life in Parma Heights, Ohio. However, he begins to feel lonely and often chats on the phone with Sarah , a customer service agent working for Frank's pension office in Kansas City. He creates opportunities to talk to her by tearing up his pension checks and calling her to say they had never arrived. His life is disrupted when a hit squad raids his house in the middle of the night. Frank kills the assassins and, knowing they would have tapped his phone, goes to Kansas City to protect Sarah.
