Review of Red State (2011) by Paul Z — 18 Mar 2012
âThe slacker has become didactic,â? as one critic so succinctly put his reaction to this surprisingly---but characteristically for Kevin Smith---heady thriller cocktail that provocatively grapples with religious demagoguery, prejudice in law enforcement, sensational media and the grey areas of gun control.
It welcomes a new standard of audacity in Smith, as he very capably keeps the audience continually off-balance all the way up until an ending which chews over but, alas, then cops out of a truly mind-blowing finale.
