Red 2

Ratings: 6.8/10
Film Class: A
Genre: Action Comedy

A little too cheesy for me. It was pretty cool at the start, but it plummeted gradually. Despite the star studded cast comprising of Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta Jones and Byung-hun Lee, part 1 was still better. 

Retired elite CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) must bring his disbanded team together once again to hunt down a terrorist group who have engaged top killers to track the whereabouts of a portable nuclear weapon. In fact Frank Moses is the one being hunted down because Wikileaks disclosed false information that he knows the whereabouts of it, and so is forced to strike while the iron is hot... hunt or be hunted. 

I feel that the director "overplayed" the action and the acting. Cast had to inject out-of-place forced humor randomly and it kinda cheapened the entire feel of the movie. It became less/worst than a no-brainer after a while. It does make a decent destresser movie, but other than that, it'll leave you so destressed that you won't remember a thing... Well, I don't. End of review. Period. (Actually I do remember 2 things, Byung-hun Lee assasinating someone, and a slight twist in the storyline - the villain.)
