If you loved Bruce Willis in Die Hard and its sequels, you will love him in RED, which, if not based on a comic book by the same name, could have been titled Die Hard with Friends... RED is a fluffy fun film that showcases violence in a way that is tolerable, pokes fun with good timing, and most of all, features a cast that is delightful to watch.
Threading a fine line between Cinéma Vérité and Direct Cinema, this timely 'documentary' touches a much deeper theme than what it seemed to have initially intended on doing. Though uneven and heavy-handed at times, it manages to take the patient viewer, through quite a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, and for that it deserve an extra star.
A decent teen comedy, addressing a few topics that deserve an even better attention, including teen sex,the outcasts' need for acceptance, and the evil power of rumors, especially at the difficult age of high-school.
It is, no doubt, challenging to take a story who’s end is known in advance, and tell it in a manner that will still be engaging. Some moments in the film are powerful and effective, yet the film drags for a good 30 minutes longer than it should, and loses focus in the process. Rated at 4.5 stars by my kids who enjoyed it, it’s a close 4 on my scale, but not close enough...
Would ‘The Social Network’ (film) be as interesting and attention-grabbing if it was not associated with Facebook? If indeed, it’s all fiction why associate it with the currently most popular web site? (aside, of course, from a legitimate concern for a liability lawsuit). Surely a capable team of filmmakers such as David Fincher, the director, and Aaron Sorkin, the writer, do not need to ride on someone else’s success.
Luckily for mainstream animation studios, children are so easy to please... Not same is the luck of their parents, who need to sit through films that are, more often than not, mediocre, to say the least... In short: great, even exceptional animation, mediocre script and direction. Your kids will love it, and you can expect another installment in the foreseeable future as the original series included three books.
