Movie Review: Red 2

Saw Red 2 last night.  Loved the first movie (Red), and loved the sequel!

There were a few jokes that struggled a bit, but most were hilarious.  There were a few action scenes that lasted a bit too long, but they were all very good nonetheless.

Marvin (John Malkovich) rocked the movie.  Frank (Bruce Willis), Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), and Victoria (Helen Mirren) were all as great as they were in the first movie.

And because it could get pretty much straight into the action, without having to spend time introducing characters, it had a significant advantage over the first.  (Though that may leave it less than fully comprehensible to anyone in the audience who didn’t see the first one.)

9.5 out of 10
