Red 2

The best never rest.


Red 2
Although Red was not intended to be a franchise, the numbers clearly impressed the suits in Hollywood enough so that they greenlighted a sequel, offering more of the same, with some key cast changes. Our retired black-ops CIA agent reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device. To succeed, they'll need to survive an army of relentless assassins, ruthless terrorists and power-crazed government officials, all eager to get their hands on the next-generation weapon. As they globetrot, they are outgunned and outmanned, and have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world, and stay alive in the process.

CommentsThis film contains complex and mature themes withing a comical context, depicted with frequent action-based violence. Themes involve betrayal, relationships, jeaslousy with relationships, crime intelligence operations, professional killers, nuclear weapons, being wrongly accused, the Secret Service in the USA and Europe and action violence. These themes are mature but treated in a mild to moderate manner and are less threatening due to the entertainment and comic value. However children under 10 years of age may find the material to be confusing due to the complexity of the storyline as well as upsetting and distressing due to the violence within the portrayal of these themes.

ReelViews
James Berardinelli quote iconThe film has its charms but the end result feels like warmed-over James Bond… and not even especially good 007, at that.

Tomatometer quote iconWhile it's still hard to argue with its impeccable cast or the fun they often seem to be having, Red 2 replaces much of the goofy fun of its predecessor with empty, over-the-top bombast.
