At some point during the cold war, the U.S.had a nuclear weapon secretly built in Russia. Documents linking a connection between The RED team and the weapon have also been released. This leads to a race between the world's terrorists and the US government to get to it first, with Team RED caught in the crossfire, since they supposedly know it's location.
They are being hunted by Han aka Storm Shadow, who speaks perfect English, btw and is naturally the #1 Contract Killer in the world. He has a personal motive for killing Bruce as he was responsible for Han's imprisonment at the hands of the G.I. Joes.
Red 2 pretty much continues the story from the first. Retired gov't agents defend themselves from another secret onslaught by the US and British governments, each seeking to quell all information on an obscure subject that could probably be ignored if they didn't have a propensity to fill body bags with the bodies of their own people.
I don't think I want to see a third, but I've actually enjoyed the RED film series and there are a lot of familiar faces in this particular film. Eventhough it became a bit annoying, they gave Mary Louise-Parker more to do and she clearly had fun with it. I was loving that Neal McDonough wass the main villain of this film and the chemistry between the actors is awesome. Specifically Willis and Malkovich. Nes'pas?
As usual, though, Storm Shadow, is just about the best character in the film. Malkovich is pretty good, but no one is touching Storm Shadow. Nobody not code named "Snake-Eyes" anyway.
In conclusion, RED 2. Pretty good.
Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
