Three teen boys looking for some sexy action fall prey to a group of religious nuts.
The problem with this movie is it's trying to be too many things at once. Most movies you see tend to have a beginning a middle and an end. sometimes these may be shown in a more unconventional order but the beginning is always there, the middle is always there and the end is always there.
In the case of Red state what you get is three beginnings then an epilogue to tie it up. The first part is the teens being captured by the bible bashers, this part has some good tense moments then it looks as though it's going to veer into torture porn territory when it quickly changes to a hostage situation movie. You've seen this part a hundred times it has nothing new to offer until it just descends into an actionless shoot out. The final part is a moral argument which gutlessly takes neither side, by this time I'd lost interest. Lots of long wordy sections desperately trying to emulate the work of Quentin Tarantino and failing miserable. Trying to keep you on your toes by killing off characters who seem to be important soon lost it's shock value after the third or fourth time.
I'd really only recommend this film to Kevin Smith fans, of which there are many. so it will do well even though it isn't that good a movie.
