Willis, Mirren and Malkovich are back in Red 2

That's Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich to you. Also back for more action is Mary-Louise Parker along with newcomers -- to the franchise anyway -- Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Byung Hun Lee.  Oh yeah, we're talking about Red 2 here, the follow up to Bruce's 2010 hit Red. Retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (The Bruce) 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. The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they 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. I dug Red a lot and am looking forward to another installment. Glad to see...

Micro Review: RED

Bruce Willis hasn't made a movie this much fun or action packed since he dusted off John McClane. Sure it's lightweight and fluffy, but it's also one of the best examples of pure entertainment Hollywood has produced in some time. If you're going to make a slick, glossy product, then make it fun. And give your superstar a talented supporting cast to work off of. Mary-Louise Parker, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and especially John Malkovich are all a hoot to watch. The throwdown between Willis and Karl Urban is one for the books.A Good time at the movies for the wife and I, and we'll be watching it again.
