Absolutely the worst movie.

A Masterpiece!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Everything it seems in films these days is a borrowed rehash of a not so distant current event. And it doesn't even do it well. Scattered dialog makes one wonder just where this writer was going with this. Great acting from the cast. What they had to act upon seems senseless. It does give me a slight pause, however. There are nutty fundamentalists everywhere. I got it! The government can do what it wants sometimes. I got it! Tell me something new and believable,

Well I did like the movie. Not specially for the acting or the writing but because I'm a convinced atheist. And watching movies that ridicule religions is just mind kinda soup. Everybody is entitled to have his beliefs, and I have no problems with that, but some (or many) are just too extreme and should just keep their mouth shut about it and just be retarded by themselves. In Red State you get the extreme religious Christians, with their hate towards everything that does not represent their stupid book. You would think it's all fiction but sadly there are tons of retards thinking like that. The world would be better off without all those lunatics. The movie will not be remembered for it's great acting or story, but it will amuse people like me, that's for sure.

I was blown away by this movie. I hadn't heard of it until the other day, when I found myself scrolling through some lame Top 10 Films Tarantino Wishes He Could Have Directed or something equally as click-bait-y. But Tarantino did comment on this film in particular, highly favourably--and a film doesn't get a better recommendation than that, really. So I had a certain amount of expectation, but it was surpassed. I am a bit of a film addict, so when I say this movie blew me away, I mean it. I'm not going to bother blurbing the film or anything because that is 80% of the other reviews already, but for those of you interested in a random bloke's 2p, this film felt real to me. The acting never felt like acting and I was placed right in the middle of the conflict, literally jumping from moment to moment. John Goodman is ALWAYS a good guy to have in a film, but all of the others really held their own too. I think it would be easy to pass the film off as perhaps being a bit "confused" or "garbled" but those descriptions only go as far as describing how much of the film some viewers were able to individually take from it or maybe their Online- University-Major-In-Film-Critiquing egos that tell them all films have to follow a basic formula of arch and character development... Whatever. Regardless, I thought the film was an unforgettable thriller with snappy writing, a terrific script, memorable performances and a truly engrossing and amusing balance of poignant reality, overwhelming brutality, and powerful dialogue--with a delightful element of humour and not-taking-itself-too-seriously. It is immediately up there with some of my favourite thrillers and is therefore obviously recommended. ...I had no intention or writing a review but it was that good.

OK, I am a Tarantino fan. I didn't expect anything of this film. Never even heard of. Thought I was going to see a horror film. How ever: Its brilliant. Good Story, good cast and excellent screen shots. The dialoques were amazing. So without expectations the film caught me instantly. 5 minutes at the most. Mr Smith might be a bit of a controversial filmmaker. But he ticked our boxes here like. I am not going to spoil anything.Just watch it. If you like films like I do (And I am not interested in goof's, famous names etc.) you will have a pleasant time...have fun
