Kym C Loved it. I wish they explained more at the ending. It seemed to be rushed . But still was a good watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography and landscapes were breathtaking. The plot description draws you in. Then the finished product leaves much to be desired and many unanswered questions. There were so many opportunities to take of on that "six" thing, which also was not fully explored. As a city dweller, I enjoyed the scenery. It was like a good looking date with nothing else to offer. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanted to give this movie a chance....but it was terrible from start to finish. Terrible acting combined with terrible script with unrealistic dialogue choice made none of the characters believable. The only thing that surprised me was that it hooked me long enough to watch to the end.(too much free time during a pandemic) I wanted to see if it got any better but sadly it didn't. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The first half of the movie seemed alright. But, the last fifteen was like they ran out of budget and switched directors. I was impressed by the acting, but the end was like they were too tired or rushed and made no effort. The ending was awful— made no sense at all. It was like watching 2 different movies. Editing was horrible. Big disappointment. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Not gonna lie, I found "Red Handed" curiously confusing. The film had my attention at first but it didn't take long for that momentum to wane, and soon turn to boredom. In principle the story reads as very interesting. However, the story's arc seems broken, and at times aimless. Not to mention that a lot of this film's plot trajectory is really predictable. The acting, despite the film's flaws, is pretty tight. The cast is an attractive, mature group (aside from the obvious kid involved). It all does move a little too slow at times. The overall effect feels more of a psychological drama with moments of suspense. A couple of the characters seem to be overstated, and the female characters seem cliche. The thrills and chills are really minimal. The suspense is mostly muted. "Red Handed" does have moments where the story starts to build up, but before some real adrenaline can kick in, the scene turns to more character based melodrama. Still there is a creepy atmosphere that hangs uneasily over the film. Overall "Red Handed" offers a mild, mature psychological drama to movie fans. There is suspense, but it is weighed down by characters that feel ancillary, and exposition that seems to go on forever. Still, the film has an attractive cast that can act. Even with no real horror present some thriller fans may wanna check this one out. But horror fans will probably want to pass. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
