i like brian cox

overall a respectable revenge flick. i had hoped for more fireworks from sizemore as he is soooo good at that.

More drama than thriller, more justice than downright revenge, this clumsy-yet-powerful film based on the novel of the same name by Jack Ketchum is a touching, thoughtprovoking story of a man whose dear dog is shot by three careless teenagers. While he goes after the boys (not by toting a gun, as the DVD cover might suggest) we get a glimpse on his past life and the tragedy that has taken place. The common myth of the lonely, quiet American cowboy is shattered profoundly.

Excellent job from Cox.

Good performances. A tight drama/revenge thriller.

you can really tell that this movie had a troubled production, it's woefully uneven. the cast is very solid overall, though

One of the more satisfying revenge flicks I've seen. Somehow, however, the simplicity of the story makes it seem kind of stupid. Great performances (sans the reporter...worthless side character), but I kept thinking, "how was this made into a movie?" Seriously, a producer got a script that says, "a boy kills a dog and the owner wants him to say sorry."

Loved it. Bryan Cox gives a very touching performance about a man whose dog was shot in cold blood. The way the movie escalates really knocks that tension up pretty well. Acting was excellent and the chemistry between the actors worked very well. I like almost all the actors that were involved. Great movie, worth giving a glance too.

Excellent performance by Brian Cox. I think one of his best to date. I did think that the direction of Tom Sizemore's character for the confrontation on the porch was off. It was not in keeping with his actions during the rest of the film. That's my only qualm, though. This film was a Netflix Watch Instantly choice and a nice find.

Good Movie

"A simple tale of how love and affection can sometimes inspire some of the nastiest human emotions imaginable."

A rehash of the injustice story. Humourously bad.

good movie, only one thing irritated me, why didnt he just get the boys shotgun and knock him out?

Great film with a superb performance by Brian Cox. My main grip with the film was that it was shot digitally and really looks like it, something really should've been done in post in my opinion to get rid of that digital feel but I suppose that's more personal preference than anything. Aside from that it is a great film full of characters with depth, well except for the animal murdering kid who I found to be just a shallow lying asshole.

Life is a dog in the gun America. This is a good drama of surviving in real life.

Brilliant drama thriller! Great little story. Dramatic and exciting the whole way through!

Good balance between drama and suspense.

"Red is the best Ketchum adaptation to date, just edging out The Girl Next Door. It earns this achievement thanks to Brian Cox's amazing performance."

Good. A small town man's god is shot and then he spends the rest of the film trying to get justice. There's nothing really wrong with this film, just didn't work for me. You might like it. Watch the trailer first.

Solid drama elevated by a superb turn by Brian Cox.
