Red 2 Will Hit Blu-ray And DVD In November

Summer theatrical releases have been trickling onto Blu-ray, DVD and Digital over the last several months. Soon, buyers will be able to add Red 2 to the pre-holiday list. Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced the flick will be hitting homes in just a few weeks with plenty of room to spare prior to Christmas present wrapping season. The action-filled sequel to Red will be available via Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Video On Demand and Pay-Per-View on November 26.

Red 2 doesn’t have quite as much pizzazz as its predecessor, but it does offer familiar jokes and a top-of-the-line cast, including Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Mary Louise-Parker, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The second film in the franchise follows a plot to take down Marvin (Malkovich) and Frank (Willis) after some details involving a Cold War age mission emerge. Foes and friends from the past pop up, creating a highly detailed film that’s full of hijinks and quite frankly, more than enough fun. Obviously, it’s not the type of thing most viewers will be heaping lofty praise on at the second the runtime finishes, but it’s also not the type of thing anyone would ever turn off mid-movie. In short, it’s a crowd pleaser, and if you need further proof of that, check out the pretty enjoyable trailer below.
