Movie Reviews: Red 2
After Red 2 enjoyed its star-studded premiere it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty of whether 2010's Red was deserving of a sequel or not.
Many critics say that Red 2 is not a sterling sequel, but a must for anyone who enjoys all-out ridiculous violence and action comedy quips.
The Hollywood Reporter's Justin Lowe mulls over the highs and lows of the new installment of the crime comedy.
"It didn't really have a whole lot new to offer," he said.
Variety's Justin Chang finds the movie, on balance, to be effective but lacking in the spark and visual style of the original Red.
"It's an obligatory sequel that can't quite recapture the sly, laid-back pleasures of its cheerfully ridiculous predecessor."
