While surfing films to stream Ida Red caught my eye. I did a quick search on IMDB and read some reviews before watching.
I will say I am glad that I did. First, any film with Mark Boone Jr, Josh Hartnett and Melissa Leo is worth a watch IMO. The entire cast is very very good, as you might expect. Strong performances abound.
Story takes the viewer through the lives of a crime family headed by the Mother who is imprisoned. Her son and nephew, part of her crew and her daughters husband a local law enforcement officer ever vigilant of his married families bad doings. The officer is not compromised by his family ties and determined to get his men. At any cost.
There are a few interesting sub plots and the story is told and shot in such a way where the run time goes quickly. The hallmark of any very good film.
I don't like to add spoilers in any of my reviews so you will have to just take a chance on this one. I will bet you won't regret it.
An excellent little known film that does one heck of a job telling a realistic crime story not glorified by gratuitous violence or big Hollywood BS.
I gave this film a strong Seven of Ten and would like to see more form the Director, John Swab.
