Movie Review "RED 2"

This the 2nd installation of the adventures of retired clandestine operatives that are (R)etired (E)xtremely (D)angerous. Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) reunites his unlikely team in a worldwide pursuit of a portable nuclear device. This film splendidly mixes great comedy, action, special effects and plot. Anthony Hopkins, normally cast in dramatic roles, plays the part of an absent minded scientist. Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren did a great job extending their roles from the 1st movie in the series. The film runs a little under 2 hours. Aside from from a few mild profanities, it could have rated a G rating.

I, too, enjoyed the movie, except for the excessive amount of violent gunplay. Both the "good guys" and the bad guys killed any person who got in their way with abandon and no twinge of conscience. In fact, sometimes they had smiles on their faces. People were blasted with big handguns or with hundreds of rounds of machine gun fire. This is the opinion of a woman and a mother, but I would not give this movie a G rating. Our children are too desensitized to violence as it is. Just my humble opinion...:-)
