When I turned on "Red Road", I had pretty much no idea what the plot was, but I was rather impressed. Watching the woman spend her days keeping an eye on everyone through the secret cameras, it's no surprise that she would want to find something new in life...though the new something turns out to be not all that pleasant.
Now, this is not a masterpiece by any stretch, but easily better than the average Hollywood flick; for starters, it features a much more realistic sex scene than I'm used to. Half the time, I couldn't totally understand the characters' heavy Scottish accents (but don't get me wrong: I like hearing people's accents). Probably the main thing that I derived from this film is that while Scotland is probably a great place, it does look like a less pleasant place that I usually assumed. Or maybe it's just because this movie shows the seedy areas in Glasgow.
Overall, I'm glad that I saw this movie.
