Ida Red

This movie isn't terrible, it just didn't do much for me. I was barely invested and finished it with reluctance. It's also filled with dumb characters who do dumb things. (1 viewing, 2/25/2022)

I seem to be in the minority based on the negative reviews, but I don't start every movie EXPECTING award-caliber writing, direction, acting, editing, etc. ;)

I'm having a really hard time lately reading negative review after negative review all saying the same thing. I know it's due to social media making everyone feel their opinion is wanted, but if there's 50+ other negative reviews & you don't have anything new to add, why bother?

I was intrigued by the cast & description & ended up really enjoying this movie! The acting was fan-tas-tic by pretty much everyone. I was esp. Impressed by the girl who played Darla, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on her career. Frank Grillo, as usual, seems to disappear into his role. And it was fun to see Hartnett get to play a different sort of character, he was great!

There's def. Some plot holes & i could tell editing must have cut some useful scenes out, prob. For time. But all-in-all, an enjoyable crime thriller.

Ida Red is a B version of Heat (Pacino,De Niro) that includes an A cast ( I love Frank Grillo and Josh Harnet here, I think they are two underrated actors by Hollywood), and a very predictable script that makes the movie sinks on half way. Even of it's weaknesses, overall is good entertainment.

Simple straight forward film with some solid acting and a good storyline. Not a film I'd watch again but worth checking out. 6 stars.

Why does this feel like it still wasn't finished in the editing room? There has got to be some pieces missing. If not, and you put this out like that, what were you thinking?
