Review of "Red2"

[madmac]

I Spun this on DVD yesterday afternoon and I must say, I was quite entertained by it!. The thing that makes this movie work and so entertaining is the chemistry and banter between the actors. It truly works and makes the movie special from that perspective. Other than that, it's a fairly standard shoot 'em up....bang 'em up action/thriller. The insertion on John Malkovitch and Anthony Hopkins in this film is priceless. Malcovitch really brings the film to new heights!. Hilarious to say the least!. I burst into laughter many times watching these actors interact.

Well worth a spin if you like this kind of movie

8/10 stars for a fun time!

How does it compare to the first one, Dan ? I read somewhere that it was better.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 1st one.

Helen Mirren is in it--that's enough for me. :T

She stole the show in the first one. She's something else.

Yes she's also very good in this film too. They ALL are to be honest!!. It's just a fun ride, plain and simple. George, I don't really remember the first one but I'm sure I saw it. I see so many films that unless the movie REALLY stands out, I am unlikely going to remember much of it years later.
