Red in D WTF?? I gave up after about the first 20 minutes. I tell myself I should give ALL films with (usually) really good actors at least 20 minutes of my time before calling it a wrap. On this one, I probably should have broken my 20-minute rule. Why would Ryan Gosling have signed up for this crap? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/23/25 Full Review Audience Member Wow. Rarely do I take the time to review a movie. It has to be outstanding in some way. This movie is outstandingly awful. Not even God will forgive the producers of this movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Audience Member absolute dog crap... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/25 Full Review Blu B It's moody, the lighting is good and probably the best thing, and there is a mysteriousness to the whole thing it gives off. Problem for me is that doesn't mean anything when they story is so scattershot, the direction isn't that good, and it's also very boring. The acting, editing, and pacing are terrible here. Almost no dialouge but also almost no emotion either. Forget wooden and stilted. Everyone is basically robots and never act like how a normal person would in any of these situations. Sometimes this is about the relationship with his Mom, the police finding the killers who killed the other dude, and sometimes it meanders so much I don't even know. I swear half the time were not even focused on Gosling and it's these other characters who I don't know much about or don't care about. It gives off a arthouse vibe to it without a well crafted story to keep it grounded or rather a poorly told one I'm not sure. The cinemaotgraphy isn't good despite a memorable setting and the red lighting really beingthe star here. It makes everything sort feel other worldy. But every shot in this is the same. A deep space type of shot that gets so boring after a while. There is hardly any variety in the camerawork. No close ups, hardly any camera movement, zooming, anything like that. It's just so boring eventually once the novelty of the lighting wears off. The violence is over the top and the gore looks amazing like John Wick type stuff but it rings so hollow. It jsut feels like gore for the sake of gore with no meaning. The music is also just boring stuff as well. It's like Thai music for the setting but it just felt so slow and didn't help anything. Skip This. I can't believe this is the same director who did Drive. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review David S It feels like a bad movie pretending to be a good one. It’s just not a good film. The cinematography is outstanding, with a great use of colors, atmosphere, and score. However this film kinda feels repetitive, with the same shots repeating themselves. It also feels very slow and kind of boring. Some of the shots are unironically hilarious. This film really feels like it should be great, but it’s just not. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Matthew L Ok. Let's start with the positives first. Of course I like Ryan Gosling. He's great. Check. Kirsten Scoot Thomas is an amazing actress. Check. Now the positives are don, heres the negatives. The script is non existent and while Gosling is a great looking guy, it would help if he spoke at least once every like 20 mins or so. The plot is bizzare and the characters are dull. The movie is so boring you should get an award for just managing to make it to the end. Please do not waste your time. If you read the ingredients on the back of a noodles packet you would get more excitement than watching this. Avoid at all costs Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
