Red 2 (2013) 8/10

Starring : Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Mary-Louise Parker, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins
Director : Dean Parisot
Running Time : 112 mins

Ex-CIA agent Frank Moses (Willis) is doing his best to live a normal life with his girlfriend, Sarah Ross (Parker), but when ex-colleague Marvin Boggs (Malkovich) approaches them and advised that he and Frank have been listed on a document as being part of a covert operation codenamed Nightshade, the trio find themselves on a round the world trip trying to discover the whereabouts of some very dangerous nuclear weapons.

This was a fun-filled, action packed sequel to the brilliant original movie based on a little known comic book. The script is sharp and witty, and the performances and expertly given, with Parker making a surprisingly good expansion to her small role in the original. It was great to see Malkovich and Mirren back in action in such wonderful roles, and the addition of Anthony Hopkins really made this a pleasure to watch.
