Red 2

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While it's still hard to argue with its impeccable cast or the fun they often seem to be having, Red 2 replaces much of the goofy fun of its predecessor with empty, over-the-top bombast.

The Playlist

While we applaud the minds behind Red 2 for making a film for adults in a sea of movies for kids and teenage boys, they didn't actually make a good film for adults.

London Evening Standard

The Expendables meets The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel isn't an obviously winning formula.

Rated: 2/5

Irish Times

The trick to RED 2's success is its willingness to allow the actors to roar through all their greatest hits at the loudest possible volume.

With more action and, fortunately, without so many twists. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

The overly fun-loving tone of Red 2 prevents us from feeling truly involved.

RED 2 slowly-but-surely begins to fizzle out as it enters its padded-out and hopelessly convoluted midsection...

Eight T It's rare to find good sequel's, but they nailed it with this one. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Pete M Stumbled across this after watching Red and being surprised with the depth of the cast. I really enjoyed the plot with a few twists and turns along with some predictable changes as well. Highlight for me is Helen Mirren in this role. So refreshing to see an older actress in an action role. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Shaun E Like its predecessor, Red 2 does not pretend to be anything other than over the top and absurdly unbelievable. With an overarching storyline that is possibly better than the first instalment, the cast go on a rather convoluted adventure to dismantle an atomic bomb. With characters changing sides left right and centre, you have no idea whether you are coming or going. Every escape from certain death is utterly implausible and some of the action scenes are so comic strip as to be bizarre. Yet, despite this, the film is lightweight compulsive watching. There is never enough tension for anything to be edge of the seat, but it is just fun with a lot of laughs along the way. Enjoyable, but not for anyone who wants to overthink it. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Dan C This movie, like Red, is a spoof on secret agent thrillers. It is absolutely hilarious, smart, quick, a joy to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Giorgio G Not as good, and surely not as inventive as the first edition, it is still quite enjoyable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Gaming U Super underrated movie Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
