Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Jul 28, 2025 3/5
"Red" is a fun action-comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously and definitely doesn't have to.

Michael Leader Den of Geek May 7, 2024 2/5
It's more annoying than charming, taking time away from character development in favour of a rather simple romantic arc...

Michael Clark Epoch Times Sep 18, 2023 4.5/5
Baring just a slight resemblance to the far more serious and violent graphic novel on which it’s based, “RED” never veers far outside traditional action/comedy boundaries yet delivers welcomed surprises at every turn.

Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Aug 3, 2023 3/4
Red could have easily been a summer blockbuster, given the wowing cast, comic origins, and adrenaline-powered pacing. But there’s more here than merely another comic book movie looking to service fanboys alone.

It’s not particularly memorable as an action film—director Robert Schwentke is no John Woo—but the ensemble brings chemistry and eccentric characterizations to the tongue-in-cheek sensibility.

Red is indicative of a Hollywoodized syndrome, competing with Expendables… this one is worse. [Full review in Spanish]

David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Apr 15, 2022 3/4
...a briskly-paced actioner thats enhanced by its proliferation of agreeably over-the-top set pieces and performances of an almost uniformly engaging nature...

A lightweight mess...

Mostly eye and ear candy.

Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See Jul 14, 2020 B
Thoroughly entertaining from start to finish. There are enough bullets to wage a small war, frantic hand-to-hand combat, and a ton of explosions.

Sergio BenĂ­tez Espinof May 14, 2020
The film is as inconsequential as it is entertaining to a fault, and its 111 minutes are used to the maximum to avoid boring the viewer even for a second. [Full Review in Spanish]

They're old(er) and wise and well-preserved. They're kicking ass and taking names and blowing up the world along the way.

Ellie Lucas The Dispatch (Lexington, NC) Jun 7, 2019 3/4
A sharply funny and highly engaging action comedy that is more than carried by its four venerable stars.

Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News May 8, 2019 B-
A film that may not have much of a lasting impact, but it sure is a lot of fun while you are watching it.

Nathalia Aryani San Diego Entertainer Feb 19, 2019
Red is the summer blockbuster that we never had... it's over-the-top, comically combustible ride that we don't ever want to stop.

Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Feb 19, 2019 B+
Red isn't particularly deep -- yes, the characters know they're older than they once were, but that doesn't seem to stand in their way once they rev up. This does give the movie an extra little current of joy.

David Sugarman CineVue Nov 6, 2018 3/5
The comedy works well, even if the action sequences are somewhat less than original. Malkovich in particular delivers a great turn.

Johnny Gayzmonic Fanboys of the Universe Nov 4, 2018 8/10
Goes down remarkably easy, but not as to be forgettable...It's great to remember that action films could actually win you over by being fun and not just by being loud.

Deborah Ross The Spectator Aug 30, 2018
The stars? Well, while I'm sure they had fun phoning in their performances - I hope they've destroyed the records - I can't help wishing they were all doing something more interesting.
