The Hollywood Reporter
Even the more cartoonish performances, like John Malkovich's acid-damaged paranoiac, fit the movie's vision of the vanished, wild-and-woolly heyday of spycraft. - 80
Arizona Republic
Red isn't a great movie, but it's great fun, and if that sounds like damning with faint praise, you take things too seriously. - 75
ReelViews
It's a lot of fun and, because of the high quality of the cast, there's no need to feel guilty about praising such an inherently silly motion picture. - 75
Movieline
The result is like a sugar rush after a visit to the vintage candy store. - 70
Variety
Only a curmudgeon could entirely resist the laid-back charms of Red, an amusing, light-footed caper about a team of aging CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement. - 70
Village Voice
Not the best. Not the worst. Just the classiest. - 67
Tampa Bay Times
It's an amusing geriatric uprising that might just as well be titled "Gray." - 63
Orlando Sentinel
Red has enough acting flourishes and incidental action pleasures to make it an adrenalin-jacked giggle, if not exactly the romp one so fervently expects.
