5. Red

Brian Cox is an old man who loves nothing more than chillin 'round the house and goin' fishin' with his dog. But then three punk ass kids kill his dog and he's on a mission to get an apology and/or some understanding. It looks like Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino without the racism and badassness that is Eastwood. Much like The Wrestler, it's mostly a character study. Unlike The Wrestler, it did have some wtf moments that kept it fresh. Still...it's a slow pace drama and I need to watch something with killing and death to get some testosterone back in my body.

No Morgan Freeman. No Danny Glover. No explosions. But there was Tom Sizemore. Debate amongst yourselves if that is a good or bad thing.

5/10

It's slow, but short (an hour and half). There are worst ways to spend your time (see: American Astronaut).
