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.

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.

Rated: C+

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-

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Red" is a fun action-comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and definitely doesn't have to.

Rated: 3/5

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

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

No amount of good acting from impressive cast, directing and producing can save the terrible script writing by Joe and Erich Hoeber... Just look at the other trash they had done. I really hoped to like it, but RED was so bad... It hurts me to see good actors wasting their time on this. The pacing is terrible, the characters are so cliche and cartooney... it's a constant cringe from beginning to the end. The recognizable tropes and gags don't help much (some did not age well). It just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Almost a parody of bad action movies. And it should not be rated as PG-13 because some violence is too much (e.g. hanging of a person). I don't understand how Hollywood with all the money cannot hire better writers! Bleh!

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de ação são fracas, o elenco é bacaninha, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes para fazer o filme ser bom.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

One of those casual movie night entertainment hits. So easy to like, cast a bit out of their usual high - end depth I'd say, but I bet they all had loads of fun. Witty and intelligently written and directed. Enough action and memorable one - liners, just good entertainment with some nice twists and turns. Colorful characters indeed
