Red 2 - Review
Another action/comedy film for this summer but this one is quite different as the first one (back in 2010) was a very funny film worth watching a few times...is it this one the same, better or worse? I would say is the same and that's not a bad thing!
Frank Mosses aka. Bruce Willis reunites his unlikely team to find a missing nuclear device...they will have to go around the globe to find it and that includes places like London, Paris and Moscow!
The retired CIA agents are back and they act even funnier than the last one, Bruce Willis does a good job (as always) playing the retired agent who wants to live a normal life with his wife, played by the funny Mary-Louise Parker who does a better job than the last time, she has so many one-liners and funny scenes as a woman who wants to live adventures and dangerous missions.
This film is all about the entire cast as they all are amazingly good, I think the one who wins is John Malkovich as Marvin, the insane ex-agent that everybody loves; he's the funniest from the film. Plus Anthony Hopkins and Byun-hun Lee do a great job! But the one who I was quite surprised was with Catherine Zeta-Jones, it has been a long time since the last time I saw her, she did it great in here, I really hope she makes more movies but I think she won't...
I kinda missed Morgan Freeman from the first film...
The plot is the same as always, the team has to go to different cities outside the U.S. to get clues and find about the truth, the final small "twist" is predictable but quite fun to see how Hopkins character changes. The action scenes are fun to watch but there's nothing new that we already saw in another film...
· BEST - The entire cast is amazing!
· WORST - Poor story and nothing new we haven't seen before...
1. Star Trek Into Darkness (9.5)
2. Iron Man 3 (8.7)

If it wasn't for John Malkovich, this movie wouldn't be that funny... |
