Red Reviews
It's more annoying than charming, taking time away from character development in favour of a rather simple romantic arc...
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 7, 2024
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.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 18, 2023
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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 3, 2023
It’s not particularly memorable as an action film—director Robert Schwentke is no John Woo—but the ensemble brings chemistry and eccentric characterizations to the tongue-in-cheek sensibility.

Red is indicative of a Hollywoodized syndrome, competing with Expendables… this one is worse. [Full review in Spanish]

...a briskly-paced actioner thats enhanced by its proliferation of agreeably over-the-top set pieces and performances of an almost uniformly engaging nature...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 15, 2022
A lightweight mess...
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 20, 2021
Few generic action comedies exhibit such an impressive ensemble of seasoned actors.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Mostly eye and ear candy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020
Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. There are enough bullets to wage a small war, frantic hand-to-hand combat, and a ton of explosions.
| Original Score: B | Jul 14, 2020
The film is as inconsequential as it is entertaining to a fault, and its 111 minutes are used to the maximum to avoid boring the viewer even for a second. [Full Review in Spanish]

They're old(er) and wise and well-preserved. They're kicking ass and taking names and blowing up the world along the way.

A sharply funny and highly engaging action comedy that is more than carried by its four venerable stars.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2019
A film that may not have much of a lasting impact, but it sure is a lot of fun while you are watching it.
| Original Score: B- | May 8, 2019
Red is the summer blockbuster that we never had... it's over-the-top, comically combustible ride that we don't ever want to stop.

Red isn't particularly deep -- yes, the characters know they're older than they once were, but that doesn't seem to stand in their way once they rev up. This does give the movie an extra little current of joy.
| Original Score: B+ | Feb 19, 2019
The comedy works well, even if the action sequences are somewhat less than original. Malkovich in particular delivers a great turn.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2018
Goes down remarkably easy, but not as to be forgettable...It's great to remember that action films could actually win you over by being fun and not just by being loud.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 4, 2018
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.

Together they make up for decent movie, with occasionally good action scenes.
| Original Score: C+ | Sep 8, 2017
