Ida Red is a 2021 American crime drama film written and directed by John Swab and starring Josh Hartnett, Frank Grillo, and Melissa Leo.

It had its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival on August 11, 2021. The film was released in select theatres and video on demand on November 5, 2021 by Saban Films.

Plot

Ida "Red" Walker (Melissa Leo), the biological mother of a criminal family, sits rotting in jail. She is a widow as a result of the bust that nabbed her. Now that she's got cancer, she wants to die in freedom. So she plots both a parole and, true to form, a heist.

Her son is a successful career criminal, ethical Wyatt (Josh Hartnett) and so is brother, psycho Dallas (Frank Grillo). There is also sister Jeanie (Deborah Ann Woll), estranged from Ida because she married kind and dim cop Bodie Collier (George Carroll). Their rebellious teen kid Darla (Sofia Hublitz) is drawn to uncle Wyatt and is romantically involved with local dirtbag Petey (Nicholas Cirillo).

Wyatt's having a hard time after a truck heist goes wrong, and cranky FBI Special Agent Lawrence Twilley (William Forsythe), who is partnering with Collier, is on the trail. Dallas, who appoints himself cleaner, nastily shoots people responsible for the screw-up, or their kin.

Angie Han, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, criticized the first scene as "set in tedium and confusion" but highlighted two memorable elements categorizing them in "what-does-this-remind-me-of feeling" part of the film and Grillo's performance. However, Han said that Ida Red does not make much impression and concluded, writing that "[the film] turns out to be just the latest faint echo of stories we’ve heard too many times already."[13]
