Very well executed
Please don't spend money on this.
Beautiful, moving film.
Absolutely the worst movie.
Not sure this qualifies as a horror film (at least for the first three-quarters), but it's a great, slow-burning, very dark, psychological thriller about two, damaged people coming together, with a final act that is both daring and very brutal. No jump scares, but its a very disturbing indie pic that should (if it already hasn't) develop a cult follow. Though it has been described as "revenge film," I'm not sure that's accurate--without going into detail, let me just say there a lot of grey areas and moral ambiguities. The two leads, Amanda Fuller and Noah Taylor are excellent in roles most actors wouldn't be brave enough to touch. This film should (if it hasn't already) develop a cult following like the equally bleak and brutal Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. A must-see for the brave of heart!
I can't do this without spoilers so SPOILER ALERT! you have been warned! All I knew about this movie is that it's about a revenge story. And I love revenge stories (Harry Brown, Death Sentence etc).BUT it started as a B Movie Drama and I thought okay. Can't be that bad when Metascore is that high. I'll never listen to Meta Score again...In the beginning you see a young girl having unprotected sex with a lot of men and she is insisting to have it unprotected. Okay, for many people this might still sound good :D Turns out the girl has AIDS and is spreading it into the world on purpose. She stated she slept with "130 or 140" men, giving the HI Virus around.And I was just like WTF? If I was one of the boys she seduced I would kill her. And you think okay, now the boys are on revenge. This is the revenge story in this movie, right? As a viewer you now want satisfaction. Torture and kill that bitch. Okay she eventually gets killed. Even though it didn't look like it was really intended.And everyone was crying about it and regretting it but man she ruined the life's of 140 men. Most of them won't even know they have AIDS and spreading this horrible disease into the world. This girl had to die!!! But what happens then? The neighbor to which she was a totally a-hole avenges her and kills the boys she was with including their whole family. Even little kids. WTF Dude??? Why is this making any sense? Why are people liking this sh*tty plot? Why did this movie get such high ratings? Why is this girl that intentionally gives aids to the world the good guy in this movie? WTF Simon Rumley? What were you thinking?
If you're looking for a non-stop gore-fest, this film might not be for you. However, if you are a lover of both innovative, indie character studies and films that make it on the most disturbing lists, you just might love this film.Red, White and Blue chronicles the collision of three troubled adults who are all suffering in their own ways, lashing out at those they feel are responsible. You get to know these characters well. You care about what happens to them unlike most of the one-dimensional twenty somethings that are thrown into most modern horror films just because they're aesthetically pleasing. They are deeply flawed, but sympathetic in their own ways. Each of the three main characters display the capacity to love as well as brutalize. Their multiple layers make you question whether or not to loathe or root for them. Simon Rumley uses quick cuts and fast pacing to convey a lot of information and story in a very short amount of time. He shows rather than tells, allowing each character's actions to speak louder than their words. The limited dialog is almost exclusively utilized as a vehicle to tell each character's unique back story, so that the viewer will understand why they do what they do, regardless of whether or not we agree with their motives.This is not a film that is going to tie everything up into a neat little package and make you feel as though justice was served. This is a film about suffering and desperation. There is no possibility for a happy ending.
The slow as molasses in Antarctica "Red, White and Blue" seemed like a three-hour movie but for some reason still had a lot of missing parts. None of the main characters were appealing in the least and that makes it extremely difficult to garner sympathy for such unfeeling people. Revenge is not always sweet and it's very hard to figure why Carl would go on such a murderous rampage over a girl he barely knew and who stated unequivocally that she wouldn't have sex with him. And why would he take it upon himself to murder(?) innocents like Ed's wife and child? There was way too much jumping around, unasked questions and unresolved threads to make this a must see movie. I give it a 2 for unrealized potential.
