Review of Red

Red (2008)
8/10
Fantastic, Little-Known Film
26 August 2013
A reclusive man (Brian Cox) sets out for justice and redemption when three troublesome teens (Noel Fisher, Kyle Gallner, Shiloh Fernandez) kill his dog for no good reason.

First of all, why was Lucky McKee replaced? And Angela Bettis replaced, too? This seems terribly unfortunate and probably cost the film some fans and attention it might have otherwise had. (With all due respect to the new director, who did a phenomenal job.) At least us horror buffs have Ashley Laurence and Robert Englund to work with. (Not to mention veteran actors Tom Sizemore and Richard Riehle.)

The whole story is great and spins out of control. It has the sensibility of "Mystic River" and the revenge of "Falling Down"... the best of both worlds.
