Rama’s SCREEN

If you wanna make Veteran actor Brian Cox angry, then hurting his dog would be one definite way They say a dog is a man’s best friend, could it be a good enough reason to go on a gun rampage? I’m sure the movie’s more than just about that.
Taking the law into your hand ain’t nothing new, but over a dog might be something interesting. Especially when the bad guy is Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan, Natural Born Killers) who’s good at playing somebody you’d wanna hate.
Here’s the trailer for RED which premiered back at Sundance this year and it will get limited theatrical release sometimes later this summer.

SYNOPSIS:

Avery Allan Ludlow (Brian Cox), a Korean War vet with a tragic past, lives alone in a small town, where he runs the local hardware store. Av’s only companion is a 14 year-old ginger-haired dog, aptly named Red by Av’s late wife. One day, Av and Red are enjoying a placid outing at their favorite fishing spot when three boys and a shotgun come along. In an instant, Av’s lifelong friend is gone, the victim of a cruel, senseless act. Devastated, Av determines to find out who the boys are and why they did it. Helped by a local reporter (Dickens), Av tries to expose the truth, but his efforts are ignored by authorities and mocked by the teenagers. The boys’ parents, a rich local businessman (Sizemore) and, across town, a hardscrabble laborer (Englund) and his wife (Plummer), are just as determined to keep Av down. But, faithful to the memory of his best friend, Av single-mindedly presses for justice-with or without the law on his side.
