"In the Red Corner" is about a boxer who fights an opponent in a room. They don't fight in a boxing ring and there's no referee. The boxers also aren't wearing headgear and they fight on a hardwood floor. I'm not an expert on boxing, but isn't that dangerous? Is this something boxers do? Were the filmmakers unable to afford a boxing ring? Well, anyway, the story isn't unique and the film often looks too dark. Who are these characters? What's the protagonist's life like? I don't know. During the match, two people talk to the protagonist and I really don't know who they are. One of them is a woman. Is she his girlfriend? Yeah, you may be kinda confused while watching this. I was.
The acting is not great, but there's nobody who gives a godawful performance. I guess the guy who plays the protagonist is OK. The music is good, but the writing is so-so. This film has opening credits. However, the film is only about six minutes long, so I think those credits are unnecessary. None of the characters are terrible, but they're not interesting. I guess the fighting is decent, but I didn't care who would win the boxing match. I think the filmmakers should've learned how to light their film because, like I wrote, it just looks too dark. So yeah, I don't recommend "In the Red Corner".
