Bruce Willis is a retired CIA super agent type person. He has retired with a much younger lady and they are living the mundaneness of normal people lives when John Malkovich turns up acting all crazy like. He tells Bruce that there are probably some bad people out to get them all and Bruce doesn't believe him, that is until stuff gets shot and bad people try to get him. Bruce, John and Bruces other half then run around trying to get the people who are trying to get them before they are all got. Not only are there people getting them but there are people who are trying to get Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren too. Whats that? It doesn't stop there? No no no, there are also some people, or maybe one person, or two, or some, who are trying to get the Russians??? the world??? I lost interest and subsequently forgot.
The first red film was barely passable, and I mean barely. This then begs the question of why did they bother to make a second and why did the acting powerhouses they have on the cast say yes to the script instead of flushing it. I honestly do not understand why Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Brian Cox, amongst others, agreed to do this shite. The only thing I can think is either they were offered a lot of money, they had a great time making it, or a mixture of the two. The story is awful and generic, the 'jokes' are tired, old and downright unfunny and the acting........well to be fair thats pretty good but it does not excuse the terribleness of the film. I genuinely do not get why this film exists and am slightly ashamed in the actors who agreed to do it. Utter codshite.
Verdict: 1/5 (and you only got the 1 because I still like you all)
