"Red" based on the book by Jack Ketchum is a different kind of revenge movie. It's about a veteran who's dog is senselessly murdered by three teenagers and all he wants is for them to own up to what they did and be punished for it legally, he doesn't want to harm them, he just wants justice. Well, to start with.
Based on that description you think you've seen this movie already but you haven't, things do not go entirely as you'd expect, there is nothing cathartic about this movie and the violence depicted in it.
It is as realistic a revenge movie as you could find and that's why its good. It's a slow-burning drama which plays within the revenge genre. It's a solid movie but one that is definitely quite somber and relatively bleak.
