Red Alert
Critic reviews and ratings
-
It may be politically correct in its tenor, but Red Alert does make you sit up and demand attention.
-
Watch it for the sake of encouraging thoughtful, relevant and truly scorching content!
-
...it is a triumph that in such charged times, the film not only got made but found a release.
-
Though it has its share of flaws and is nowhere in the league of its predecessors named earlier, it does manage to strike quite a few chords.
-
You’ll enjoy the gritty tale if you can forgive the lack of depth and the film shirking from taking a stance.
-
The movie is for the discerning people, mainly intelligentsia, and deals with one of the burning topics of the day.
-
...the movie suffers from the same problem that all Bollywood films on controversial subjects do--how to present both sides, equally well, not offending anyone.
-
The movie, dull on drama, doesn’t take a stand. The backdrop is its only purpose, and doubles up for its skeletal plot.
-
...what could have been a knockout blow barely shakes you up.
-
...doesn't hit you hard. In fact, it leaves you numb.
-
Mahadevan doesn’t leave anything out of his worthy plot, which seesaws between keeping it straight and creating a shoot-and-scoot drama, but doesn’t have the skill to pull it off.
-
Red Alert's tragic flaw is the over-simplified resolution of strife that is as old as our nation itself.
-
It's not a typical entertainer, but if you are in the mood for something different, this engrossing film -- full of super performances -- is not a bad idea.
-
Though the base material remains gripping, Red Alert is a bit slow in patches, with the complex Naxal issue getting a slightly filmy treatment.
-
...an earnest movie that is low on melodrama but equally lacking in dramatic tension.
