DC Comics has created a sequel. Retired Extremely Dangerous 2 - takes the surviving characters from the first movie and puts them in harms way again. This time the group is being blamed for helping a scientist smuggle a weapon of mass destruction into Moscow, Russia. Everyone wants them dead of course. Willis - born in West Germany by the way- (The Cold LIght of Day), Malkovich (Being John Malkovich), Mirren (The Queen), Cox (Troy) and Zeta-Jones (Chicago) are all former CIA or KGB operatives. Korean actor, Byung-hun Lee (The Good, the Bad, the Weird) is an assassin hired by CIA to take out Willis. He does all the big action, martial arts scenes. Thewlis (Seven Years in Tibet) plays a Frenchman code named the Frog who helps the group get information. Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs) is the crazy, mad scientist. The agent from the last movie (Urban from Dredd) is not in the film instead McDonough (Star Trek: First Contact) plays a CIA operative out to get the group. The comedy is good just like the last. There is one really memorable scene.
M: If there's one thing I'm good at that's women and covert ops.
W: That's two things.
L: No...grasshopper. It's not.
I saw it at AMC, but I think it will be just as good on small screen.
All in all, I say: SEE IT - if you saw the first otherwise - SKIP IT
