Red Team (2001)

Admirable film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The biggest surprise was that there's an FBI team stationed in Winnipeg Canada. Ward was fine as usual. The leads were pathetic. A 25-yr-old kid making love to a very worn 40-ish gal agent with a terrible wig? It was embarrassing. Music was strange but at least it wasn't hip hop or rap. The main idea of a killer of serial killers was a good one. Too bad the concept was wasted on this cheap production. Great title, Red Team, should be used someday for something better. I would have given this movie a 1 instead of a 2, but I reserve 1's for pictures so bad that I walk out of them. My list of 1's isn't very long ... The Bell Jar, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and The Crying Game. Red Team was just bearable enough to last to the VERY predictable end. Save your popcorn for almost anything else - throw a dart - this pig is not worth the effort.

The acting of Patrick Muldoon and Cathy Moriarty as runners up for the police squad named the "Red Team" that so effectively took care of the serial killers was perhaps admirable considering the lines and characters the script makers gave them. This movie is a total copycat movie of all the lousy serial killer movies you have seen in your lifetime. It is a long time since I have seen such a badly written piece of film write. It had all the stereotypes; the computer geek (that wasn't even a true geek here), the rotten cops, the seductive woman cop that gets the good cop in bed (utterly distasteful and not fitting in the movie), the clever serial killer and yatta yatta yatta... The music is horribly added to the scenes and the editing is just horrendous. I feel sorry for the producers of this film. The director... I am speechless. Since still could imagine two stages of making a still worse film I give it an undeserved 3/10. Better luck next time "Team Red".

The movie starts out with a promising premise, but falls flat on its face. Patrick Muldoon's performance is uninspiring, and the chemistry between him and Cathy Moriarty is non-existant.I felt that there was a lot of potential in the supporting cast with Fred Ward, C. Thomas Howell, and Tim Thomerson of Trancers fame, but none of them really came into bloom.The entire plot becomes all too apparent halfway through the movie and leaves you only waiting for the ho-hum ending.Check it out if you are a fan of any of the cast, otherwise leave this one alone.

Obviously made on the cheap, the plot has endless holes in it, the acting is mediocre, the production values are nil and the total lacks all believability. Especially having the FBI's head flying into the boonies to meet with a beginning agent, and casting as the female lead a woman at least 20 years older than the boy-man hero.
