stecrowd-64865 I'm sorry when the remaining teenage local boy has this chance to get out and he does this little speech about his two besties being dead so he don't give a shit, it just lost me. Then when the agent killed him anyway....(I guess there's spoilers now!) Sorry, it became a fantasy then, absolutely zero sense. I had 2 or 3 stars, now it gets one.

Smoreni Zmaj I'm huge fan of Kevin Smith and, although this movie is completely different from what we are used to expect from him, I enjoyed and liked it very much. However, I must admit that this is the worst (or least good) of his films. I couldn't say which genre it is. IMDb says crime/action/horror. Okay, crime it is, but it's not a typical crime flick in which the main hero or antihero cop is solving a case. There's some action too, but I think it's too exaggerated to call this film an action flick. There's no H of horror. It is not a thriller because there is no mystery that is resolved, nor is there any special twists, surprises or excitements, and characterization is too shallow for a drama. Essentially, the film has elements of all these genres, but not enough of any one of them to be genre-determined. It begins with horror cliche. Three boys schedule sex with an unknown woman via a mobile application and end up as hostages of religious fanatics. But here, every similarity with the horror ends and the anti-terrorist unit enters the story. I think the film is made as a criticism of both religious fanaticism and the way the US government is dealing with crisis situations. Acting is great, especially veterans Betty Aberlin and John Goodman. Camera, directing and sound are interesting, but far away from masterpiece. Must watch for true fans of Kevin Smith, and if you're not one do as you're pleased. If you watch this movie you won't regret it, but if you skip it you won't miss much.7/10

sol- Three teenagers get more than they bargained for when they arrange to have a foursome with a woman they met online in highly unusual Kevin Smith film. This is one of those movies that is best entered into with as little prior knowledge as possible, but suffice it to say that there are several twists and turns as the teens ends up being held captive by a group of Christian fundamentalists who believe that homosexuality and copulation outside of marriage are mortal sins. While the film offers a sharp satire on religious intolerance with Michael Parks in excellent form as the preacher in charge of the fundamentalist church, 'Red State' is most notable as a deft genre-hopping exercise. The film starts off as a comedy and then takes a horror/thriller turn, before turning into an action movie and then a sobering drama about law and order and government control. Smith also wildly switches between protagonists with varying characters coming into focus as the film moves along; if a bit disorientating, it is a move that cleverly challenges our generic expectations. The weakest aspect of the film is its action movie section near the end. That said, the film ends on a strong enough note that it leaves an indelible impression overall with its accentuated look at what could perhaps happen were religious tensions ever to erupt in a community where violence is valued by both sides.

himynameisbjl I don't understand why this movie doesn't have a higher ranking. I saw this movie without even knowing it was written and directed by Kevin Smith. When mentioning to one of my friends that i had seen probably the best horror movie since "Silence of The Lambs", they had informed me that it was Kevin Smiths attempt at a horror flick. Seriously though, the preacher plays one of the most believable characters I have ever seen in a movie, let alone a horror-ish movie. I am a tough critic with movies in general and this is definitely in my top 10.ITS AN ORIGINAL MOVIE FOR CHRISTS SAKE! Every year recycled dumb plots hit movie theaters, and the horror genre is the absolute worst. "Split 2017" has a higher rating than this movie, seriously wtf? It's laughable.Overall.... Plot: A+ Acting: B+ - A (Preacher is one of the best ever.) Cinematography: A (its a very unique style) If you haven't seen this yet and you are somehow reading this review. Just watch the movie.
