Nothing kills excitement like endless repetition - and Ida Red turns out to be just the latest faint echo of stories we've heard too many times already.

Variety

The second half has too many unexplained plot leaps but the earlier emphasis on family dynamics saves this action-crime thriller.

Keith & the Movies

“Ida Red” doesn’t always seem sure of itself or of the best way to get to its fairly predictable end. But John Swab does a good job building a family dynamic that’s both interesting and believable.

Rated: 3/5

The cast really sells this movie and makes it a strong ensemble piece.

Screen Rant

Ida Red, unfortunately, seems to fall into the trap of emulating better crime dramas instead of trying to stand out on the merits of its own story.

Rated: 2.5/5

Great performances by Hartnett, Grillo and Leo. It's a suspenseful script with good action and violence. Dysfunctional family ties. We really liked it.

Felt this is an under rated movie. Has some really good actors, who helped make it better. I did find a few parts of it lacking, other then that it's a good movie that is worth watching if you are into this style, which isn't for everyone.

Okay but not great. There's some pretty good character development. I pretty much hated the title character right from the first moment I laid eyes on her, and that didn't change throughout the film. In fact, this is a whole family full of scummy people. Even the teenage daughter/granddaughter has few, if any, redeeming values. The dance scene right before the demented uncle kills the stranger who witnessed him killing is kind of compelling. But it only serves to illustrate just how selfish and unfeeling he is. And what's so interesting about that? (FWIW, I saw this on an airplane.)

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Good cast and acting isn't bad, but such a boring movie. The plot sucks and doesn't have much going on.
