Red 2 Movie Quotes

"Red 2" movie quotes bring the original "Red" movie, based on a comic book series of the same title, back for a second round of the action-comedy series. The movie, written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, was directed by Dean Parisot. "Red 2" opened in theaters in the United States on July 19, 2013.

In "Red 2," Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is a retired CIA agent living a quiet life with his lady friend Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker) when old friend and CIA coworker Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) shows up. Marvin tells Frank that their names showed up as those responsible for stealing a Cold War era nuclear weapon codenamed Nightshade. Accordingly, Interpol is after them.

To try to clear their names, Frank and Marvin, along with Sarah, head to the creator of the weapon, a scientist now in an insane asylum, Edward Bailey (Anthony Hopkins). Edward is some help but his mental state makes locating the weapon, which is hidden in the Kremlin, quite difficult. This is only complicated when Frank learns two contract killers (portrayed by Helen Mirren and Lee Byung-hun) are also after him, as is an old flame (portrayed by Catherine Zeta Jones).

"Red 2" joins the busy summer movie season already packed with other great films such as "R.I.P.D.," "Pacific Rim," "Grown Ups 2," "The Lone Ranger," "Despicable Me 2," "The Heat," "White House Down," "World War Z," "Man of Steel," "This Is the End," "After Earth," "Fast and Furious 6," "The Hangover Part III," "The Great Gatsby," "Oblivion," "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," and "Olympus Has Fallen."

    Operation Nightshade

    Operation Nightshade

    Marvin Boggs: "96 hours ago somebody said you and I took part in an operation called Nightshade."

    Pussycat: "At the height of the Cold War a megaton device was smuggled into Moscow piece by piece and then reassembled. The scientist was Edward Bailey. He's in an asylum for the criminally insane."

    As if learning that your name was attached to a crime involving smuggling Cold War weapons wasn't bad enough, learning that the only person who can help clear your name is in an insane asylum surely does not help.

    Frank Moses: "Entrance to what?"
    Edward Bailey: "Secret tunnels to the old catacombs, Khrushchev used it to sneak his mistress in."
    Sarah Ross: "In where?"
    Edward Bailey: "In there"
    Frank Moses: "The Kremlin? The weapon is in the Kremlin?"
    Edward Bailey: "It's the one place they wouldn't look."
