They Got the Band Back Together

[elektra]

There’s a new term out in Hollywoodland: Geri-action. The epitome of it is RED 2, featuring the return of Frank Moses, [Retired, Extremely Dangerous C.I.A. Agent] and his equally badass, mature friends. The return of great characters, the introduction of others, with action galore and a convoluted plot that never stops and yet somehow works. One of the highlights of the summer.

An excerpt:
The particular strength of this sequel comes when it introduces new characters: we know the alignment of old characters, but you never know which side new characters’ll be on. Or stay on. Heck, now that I think about it, that’s unclear about some of the returning characters, too.
