Retired Extremely Dangerous Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is enjoying a peaceful and quiet life as a homemaker with his Social Security paramour, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), but his enemies are not letting up. One day WikiLeaks publishes a confidential document dealing with a confidential operation involving Frank and his buddy Marvin (John Malkovich), and all hell breaks loose. Marvin is killed by a car bomb, every intelligence agency in the world is after Frank, a particularly deadly Chinese assassin is sent after him, even Victoria (Helen Mirren) accepts a contract to kill him (but does not fail to give him a fair warning), and this is just the beginning... Frank, Marvin, Sarah and all the gang set out to save the world (more specifically, the parts of it that they themselves dnot destroy) from the diabolical plot, but the real surprise of the Movie comes later, with the appearance of Anthony Hopkins in the role of a mad scientist who was imprisoned and cut off from world for 32 years, which he used to plan his revenge... Like most sequels of its kind, this Movie is quite redundant, much worse than its predecessor and much more influenced by the comics atmosphere, sometimes to a fault. One thing, thought, if you are low-tech like Frank, you can make an improvised alarm system from potato chips - try this at home! |
