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.

Red | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Deborah Ross The Spectator 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. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Red | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Together they make up for decent movie, with occasionally good action scenes. Rated: C+ Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Red | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor 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. Rated: B- Jan 3, 2011 Full Review Red | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Michael Leader Den of Geek It's more annoying than charming, taking time away from character development in favour of a rather simple romantic arc... Rated: 2/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Red | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Michael Clark Epoch Times 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. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Red | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Red could have easily been a summer blockbuster, given the wowing cast, comic origins, and adrenaline-powered pacing. But there’s more here than merely another comic book movie looking to service fanboys alone. Rated: 3/4 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel B Casual, fluffy escapist fun, nothing serious. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review Faiz D This is a thoroughly enjoyable action comedy with an exceptional all star cast! Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Leaburn O I don’t think the world needed this film that has been done plenty of times before. What I needed was some sleep, so I dozed off in the second half of the film, waking up just in time to hear that Moldova sucks. Nice. Watched it (kind of) on SKY cinema. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I'm not much of a comedy guy but this did make me chuckle.
