Bruce Willis reprises his role in this DC comic adaptation of RED (Retired and Extremely Dangerous). It is not often that you see a sequel and enjoy it better than the first one, but this show did it. John Malcovik and Mary Loise Parker have larger roles, but they given plenty of screen time to Helen Mirren as well. Bruce is off to track down a bomb that was placed by Anthony Hopkins in the middle of Russia during the Cold War. Along the way he has to protect himself from the CIA that is still trying to kill him.
Half way through the first show the lite comic book story took a very serious turn and became too dramatic for the feeling of the entire show. This one on the other hand maintained a lite flow through out. There were intense fight scenes, but they did not take themselves too seriously. The screen writing for this movie was true to the comic book writing and one liners. I enjoy all comic book movies, but really can't give too many of them raving reviews. I did like this show as a good popcorn movie, but not much more.
