Ida Red (Melissa Leo) is sentenced to a long stretch behind bars after a heist went wrong. She learns that she has only months to live and is therefore determined to die as a free woman. The plot and storyline are straightforward but sometimes confusing. Confusing also as they cannot anticipate the magnitudes of their increasingly brutal actions. They are a bit stupid. The crime family is headed in her absence by nephew Dallas (Frank Grillo) and her son Wyatt (Josh Hartnett), who make their living holding up trucks on remote highways. "Ida Red" explains crime as a genetic issue. The problem with this family is that they are not really smart and actually quite bad at crime. Movie is fast paced with great action scenes. Great acting by Frank Grillo (Dallas) and Melissa Leo (Ida Red Walker). If you have the time and like these kind of heist movies, just watch. Frank Grillo is getting better and better with every movie.
Of all the crap we've had to deal with in Movies, since the Covid took over every aspect of our lives whether infected or Forced , Quality of movies has really suffered also. Actors are trying to work at a fevered pitch taking any role to make ends meet in the sense of an actor's ends. Independent films are always gems, best movies without all the Hoopla. This movie has a great cast, rising Frank Grillo, and always Good Melissa Leo give this film grit believable without going over the top- good actors can do this no matter what script they're giving, these 2 accomplished that. Forsythe is now pigeon holed so same acted as his last dozen films, Harnett is the headliner with a little bit of criminal sympathy is ok, Slaine is good as Bro n law trapped in criminal family as a Cop, Hublitz of Ozark fame is not very likable bout like her Ozark role same person. This movie has been seen or done a 100 times a 100 different ways but to say this movie is terrible is not true. The journey has its flaws but if u don't fancy yourself as a grade A critic it's very entertaining. I liked it very much and that's all I can ask for in today's Marvel Super Hero world that's contracting our good actors into playing Comic characters to unheard of $$$$ instead of acting in movies with teeth. That's the movie business now Loud unreal CGI wonders peddling to the 13 to 50yr olds, the latter which is still hooked on the Super Hero . This movie is Good not Great but watchable and much enjoyed by me. So give it a chance and leave your morals at the door watch it independently of comparison. Solid 7.
The film is adequately entertaining, and offers some thrills. The portrayals of relationships between characters are good, but can be enhanced. I was a little confused about who was who at first.
Ida Red is a B version of Heat (Pacino,De Niro) that includes an A cast ( I love Frank Grillo and Josh Harnet here, I think they are two underrated actors by Hollywood), and a very predictable script that makes the movie sinks on half way. Even of it's weaknesses, overall is good entertainment.
I'm pretty sure I've seen things with Grillo in them, but I will NEVER forget the one scene in the movie with him in it! Holy crap! Creepiest scene ever! Brilliantly done on his part.
This is a Ma Barker gang with Ma in prison - dying. And her boys want to get her out. Ma and the boys are all part of a very complex family that I will NOT go into here.
This is a good Friday night, got no where to go movie.
Don't have high expectations and you will totally enjoy it! Especially. Frank Grillo. He'll have your partner snuggling a bit closer to you - if you want.
