Just dip our balls in honey & stake us to an ant hill: RED 2
This time the movie opens not with Frank being bored with civilian life, instead it's his girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) love interest from RED.

Four Seasons Philadelphia Interview: Ryan Coogler: FRUITVALE STATION

But I was so wrong, the film has real heart and emotionalinvolvement because it is so “day in the life of”. As you’re watching…
