Red
The thriller RED is the eerily believable take on the age old battle of good vs. evil told as a suspenseful tale of redemption and revenge, which features a riveting star performance by Brian Cox. RED made its world premiere at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
Avery Allan Ludlow (Cox), a Korean War vet with a tragic past, lives alone in a small town, where he runs the local hardware store. Av’s only companion is a 14 year-old ginger-haired dog, aptly named Red by Av’s late wife. One day, Av and Red are enjoying a placid outing at their favorite fishing spot when three teenage boys and a shotgun come along. In an instant, Av’s lifelong friend is gone, the victim of a cruel, senseless act. Devastated, Av determines to find out who the boys are and why they did it. Helped by a local reporter (Kim Dickens), Av tries to expose the truth, but his efforts are ignored by authorities and mocked by the teenagers. The boys’ parents, a rich local businessman (Tom Sizemore), and, across town, a hardscrabble laborer (Robert Englund) and his wife (Amanda Plummer), are just as determined to keep Av down. But, faithful to the memory of his best friend, Av single-mindedly presses for justice—with or without the law on his side.
RED is directed by Trygve Allister Diesen and Lucky McKee, and written by Stephen Susco from a novel by Jack Ketchum. RED is produced by Trygve Allister Diesen and Norman Dreyfuss and stars Brian Cox (THE BOURNE IDENTITY/SUPREMACY, X-MEN 2), Tom Sizemore (SAVING PRIVATE RYAN), Kim Dickens ("Deadwood"), Noel Fisher ("The Riches"), Kyle Gallner ("Smallville"), Shiloh Fernandez ("Jericho"), Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) and Amanda Plummer (PULP FICTION).
