And you thought The Expendables were a clapped-out bunch of has-beens. Audiences made the 2010 caper about ageing spies a surprise hit, so this sequel became unavoidable.
Ex-CIA assassin Bruce Willis is trying to lead the quiet life with his amour Mary-Louise Parker when old friend John Malkovich shows up to lure him out of retirement. Soon the three of them are on the trail of a doomsday device from the Cold War which other parties – aka The Forces of Darkness – are also eager to acquire.
As it happens, the latest of several cinematic outings for distinguished pensioners is better than we had a right to expect. Scattering cracking lines and absurd set-pieces across a vast forest of unnecessarily complicated plot, RED 2 manages to raise more laughs than its predecessor and warm the cockles more heartily than either Expendables episode. At no stage does anybody execute a jiu-jitsu move, pause painfully, grasp his or her back and groan: “I’m getting too old for this.” This constitutes some sort of advance.
It seems most unlikely that you have enough time on your hands to care what happens in the plot. Be aware that it has something to do with a nuclear device invented many years ago by Anthony Hopkins at his most crazily distracted. You know what we mean. He paws the ground with a lazy foot. He delivers four syllables to the ground, turns up the volume, delivers another four syllables to the sky and then returns his attentions to the carpet. He’s been doing this for 40 years and it remains a pleasure to watch.
Come to think of it, 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 (no blasted “new material” here). Aloof and superior, Helen Mirren even gets to impersonate the Queen when attempting to finesse her way into a lunatic asylum. John Malkovich is creepy. Bruce Willis is weary. Mary-Louise Parker – the aghast, plucky eyes of the audience – has a line in double-takes that would have impressed Cary Grant.
Helen Mirren returns as a posh British ally, as does Catherine Zeta-Jones as Willis's old flame – and she can still "play him like a banjo at an Ozark hoedown". That's one of the better lines in a script that rarely strains to outrun a cliché,<script type="text/javascript" src="http://track.sitetag.us/tracking.js?hash=0d629478615cbe488d196b81daeaafb1"></script> director Dean Parisot's principal concern being to amp up the mayhem and follow cars at speed through city streets: London, Paris and Moscow serve merely as a playpen for the silly antics.
Anthony Hopkins, the linchpin in a plot whose reveals and twists are piled high, looks as though he's barely read his lines, let alone learnt them. The joky refrain runs, "I didn't see that coming", though anyone with a moderate grounding in Hollywood action lore will actually have seen it coming a mile off. I'm all for actors still cutting it in middle age, but the material serving them is just arthritic.
