What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may not be the killer thrill ride you'd expect from an action movie with a cast of this caliber, but Red still thoroughly outshines most of its big-budget counterparts with its wit and style.

The stars? Well, while I'm sure they had fun phoning in their performances - I hope they've destroyed the records - I can't help wishing they were all doing something more interesting. Go to Full Review

Together they make up for decent movie, with occasionally good action scenes. Go to Full Review

Red is a goofball lament. It's saying that in the good old days, or at least in the good old movie days, our killers were good-time guys. Go to Full Review

"Red" is a fun action-comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and definitely doesn't have to. Go to Full Review

It's more annoying than charming, taking time away from character development in favour of a rather simple romantic arc... Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Baring just a slight resemblance to the far more serious and violent graphic novel on which it’s based, “RED” never veers far outside traditional action/comedy boundaries yet delivers welcomed surprises at every turn. Go to Full Review

westwinkel T @aidosmedia 5d great cast, here and there quite funny, the story though - is another story. Still: quite fun to watch See more Yash B @yashbansal Feb 20 "RED" is a decent movie to watch for entertainment value. The story stays moving for the most part, and the great cast keeps it interesting. I liked the action scenes, but at a point, the story didn't really have me fully on board, which was a shame because initially I found it pretty gripping. I also feel like a prequel movie would make the character relationships deeper here because it just threw me into the scenario as a viewer. Overall, it is a decent action movie to turn your brain off to, and is elevated by the dynamic chemistry of its cast. See more Marybeth J. @qcliffy Feb 14 Very interesting and fast paced. In this current national atmosphere, didn’t seem that far-fetched. See more Mark C. @mrpiggy1992 Jan 16 Best underappreciated action movie with a great cast of Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and Helen Mirren See more shane o @Shanes_DVD_Shack Jan 15 I have seen it a few times , it’s a fun movie. Good action doesn’t take its self to seriously . See more Lucas O. @bodie5454 Jan 10 Perfect blend of action and comedy. Few ridiculous parts but overall just a very entertaining movie.
