Retired C.I.A. agent Frank Moses reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing portable nuclear device.

If you loved RED 2, the closest films we have are Triple Frontier (2019), The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017) and OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006). All three share RED 2's kinetic and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008).
