Red Siren

I was really surprised by how much I dug this movie. I passed it up so many times at the rental store, for no real reason. "Red Siren" reminded me a lot of "Bourne Identity" and "The Professional." In fact, I wondered since it was French, if Luc Besson had anything to do with it. Anyway, I really recommend it for those who don't have a weak threshold for violence, and are willing to sit for two hours.

I think it's important to note that if you get English audio/subtitles off like mine was, that some of the dialogue sounds really forced and unnatural. But I didn't think anyone did a bad acting job in it.

yea,i thought it was quite good. Asia Argento is now one of my favorite actress becuase even in an okay film she still is very good. I was lucky enough to catch it on cable after coming home from my job late at night and since there was nothing better on I watched this and I was pleasantly surprised. I hope more people see it.

I normally watch films in their original language, but after hearing how bad the original English version is, I decided to just watch it dubbed. Don't think I missed anything; the VA idiots mostly pronounced every character's name English (85% of the time - a few did not, somehow).

Mind numbingly stupid film. This poor excuse for a movie couldn't lick Leon The Professional's boot heels.
