  • A must see movie!

    "Red Letters" happens to be one of the must see movies I have to watch.
    A great cast of characters goes along with the plot, and it's very
    suspenseful as well. Peter Coyote did a spectacular job playing the
    reluctantly helpful Professor Dennis Burke, and Fairuza Balk looked
    good as student Gretchen Van Buren. Nastassja Kinski is the hot and
    sexy convict Lydia Davis, who's desperate need of being cleared of a
    crime. I think the four pictures of the photo booth was rather kinky.
    Lydia(Kinski) taking off her sweater. The question is what resulted of
    her state, Bra? or Braless? Who knows? The one scene where Lydia runs
    into Gretchen, and changes clothes with each other. That was strange.
    However, noticing Dennis' odd behavior gets him kicked out of school,
    but somehow it was worth it because of his conscience of finding the
    truth about Lydia's innocence. The movie was great, it has plenty to go
    on, and it's a big keeper in the video library. Rating 4 out of 5
    stars.

  • The humor is intentional, folks!

    Like many other respondents, I ran across this genially goofy mystery while
    surfing and didn’t expect to stick with it more than a few minutes. But it
    grabbed me from the beginning and held up almost to the end. Thanks to the
    person who noted that the film was shot in 21 days on a shoestring. That
    accounts for the gaps in the plot (like certain scenes that we expect to see
    but were probably never filmed). But the shoestring production makes the
    acting, the comic touches, and the overall unpredictability of the plot all
    the more impressive. The screenplay found some really ingenious things to
    do with these likable characters. It wouldn’t work without excellent performances. The director strikes me as
    someone who really works well with actors. Coyote gives a really fine comic
    performance, showing more emotional range than he’s usually allowed to.
    Balk, Piven, and Kinski are also very good. Ernie Hudson, who has played
    this cop role a dozen times, is a treat in the knowing and yet not smug
    notes he hits. You get the feeling he’s seen it all, knows exactly where
    it’s going, and will just let it get there before he steps in to mop things
    up. The film struck me as primarily a comedy (which is pretty much given away
    near the end by the little alligator in Pauly Shore’s backyard wading
    pool)–but I’m surprised more respondents haven’t noticed this. It had me
    consistently chuckling throughout. I guess I’m a sucker for these offbeat little films that you don’t expect
    much from. But in the last few months, I’ve left the local multiplex
    shaking my head in disbelief that good filmmakers could make "big" thrillers
    as bad as Twisted and Taking Lives. Red Letters is a heck of a lot more fun
    to watch, and deserves more exposure.

  • They should have called this Red Herrings

    It’s a shame, really, that the script of this film had more holes than you
    could shake a stick at (mixed metaphor intentional), because Kinski and
    Coyote – both supremely talented performers who are capable of great
    subtlety and nuance – have wonderful chemistry together, and the
    always-provocative Fairuza Balk didn’t hurt the mix either. Jeremy Piven
    would have been great here too, if his character (and all the other
    supporting characters) hadn’t been written as a plot device. As for the
    main proceedings, the writers just didn’t know how to create the suitable
    guilty-or-innocent tension for Kinski’s character — instead they gave us
    confusion, contradiction and, by the finale, downright
    let’s-hope-the-viewers-don’t-notice claptrap.
