Ever imagine how life of a retired secret service agent
looks like? Well for Frank (Bruce Will), Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen
Mirren) who being labelled as Retired but Extremely Dangerous, there isn’t really much of a
different as for these folks The Best Never Rest! :P
As a sequel to the 2010 film RED which inspired by the limited DC comic book series, the new American
action comedy film RED 2 will be release on July 19, 2013. Despite the
return of the over-50 crowd Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Dame Helen Mirren,
some younger acting blood (Catherine-Zeta Jones & Byung-hun Lee) will be
seen in this upcoming sequel which is something worth anticipating :)
So here’s how the story goes:
“While trying to
lead a normal life, former black-ops agents Frank is notified that his former
employers are hunting for him as part of a cover-up related to one of his Cold
War-era assignments.. Unwillingly being dragged back into the game, Frank now
forced to race across Europe & Russia trying to clear his name with his old
friend & enemies on his tail trying to assassinate him, and the situation
escalate when they found out that things aren’t just a simple assassination assignment
as they thought..”
Overall RED 2 is a standard Hollywood action comedies with
nicely schedule pace & plot, wonderful stunts, funny verbal volleys, lots
of back-to-back action and fancy explosion, which gives a pretty entertaining viewing
experience throughout the nearly 2 hours screening time. However it really doesn’t
have a whole lot new to offer as most of the interesting factors has been
executed well in RED. For those who had watched RED, this will be a passably
palatable sequel, not that it isn’t entertaining but there is simply a lack of
stylistic scene and genuinely impressive tableau. Anyway RED 2 is
still an enjoyable movie with fair share of surprises, hilarious reaction shots
and sensational action scenes. ^^
Rating: 7/10~
