The movie's escalating series of tit-for-tat revenge ploys becomes a bit tedious even at 95 minutes, but Cox and a rich (if not always well-served) supporting cast that includes Tom Sizemore, Amanda Plummer, and Robert Englund keep it more than watchable.
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Begins promisingly and then swerves into absurdity.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

What makes this movie worth seeing is the acting, which is superb throughout.
Linda Stasi, New York Post

Along with Shotgun Stories, Felon, and a few other recent 'indie pulps,' Red is part of a wave of low-budget genre films that turn injustice into an abstract force ripping decent folk apart.
