The film, Red, turns good and evil inside out. Everyone loves Avery. He is a dog-lover, war veteran, fisherman, beer drinker, and widower living in a typical small American town. He has a kind, sincere face, weathered by life and soulful eyes that belie a secret tragedy. Three teenaged boys accost him while he’s peacefully fishing at his favorite spot. When Danny, the main bad boy, shoots his beloved dog, Red, in cold blood and for no apparent reason, it’s repulsive. Even more so, when Avery tracks down the boy’s rich father, he denies it and uses his influence to stop Avery from getting any sort of justice.
