It features actors we like doing things we wish were more interesting.” Michael Phillips at the Chicago Tribune gave it a B-. He said, “RED stands for Retired, Extremely Dangerous, though Reasonably Entertaining Diversion works too.”
Jason McKiernan at Filmcritc.com gave it a B. He said, “manages to avoid the pitfalls of its various genre trappings and focus almost entirely on kick-ass attitude.” John DeFore at the Hollywood Reporter gave it a B. He said, “Retired-spy action comedy keeps the goofiness in check.”
A.O. Scott at the New York Times gave it a C-. He stated, “risk is the last thing on this movie’s mind.” James Berardinelli at Reelviews gave it a B rating. He said, “All that’s missing is a cameo from Sean Connery.” “Red” movie is in theaters now. Get your “Red” movie tickets at Fandango by Clicking Here.
