RED 2 movie review: Nuffnang Premiere Screening



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. ^^
