The Plot…

John owes bad people $7,000.00.  If they don’t get paid, John will get killed.  In order to get the money quickly John joins a clinical study that uses experimental drugs and treatments.  Once locked in the treatment center, John discovers he may be in more danger there.

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Robert Rodriguez made his first film El Mariachi for $7,000.00.  He raised the money, in part, by taking part in medical studies.  Rodriguez was inspired by his experiences to come up with this film.  He also wanted to see if it was possible to make the film for $7,000.00.  It was.  Sadly, we didn’t get anything close to a movie as good as El Mariachi.

I’m a Robert Rodriguez fan.  Red 11 just didn’t resonate with me.  The movie is less than 90 minutes long.  I stuck it out for a bit over 50 minutes before tapping out.  Your mileage may vary.

Red 11 (2019) rates 1 of 5 stars.
