Our suggestions
Incarcerated crime boss Ida "Red" Walker lives on borrowed time. Calling the shots from her prison cell, Ida turns to her son, Wyatt, and brother, Dallas, to pull off one huge heist that promises to buy her freedom. But there's one problem: Wyatt's brother-in-law, a local cop, is partnered with an FBI agent to investigate the family. Putting their own lives on the line, Wyatt and Dallas face the ultimate sacrifice for family and freedom.
"Ida "Red" Walker (Melissa Leo) discovers she has a terminal illness after being sentenced to prison. With the help of her son (Josh Hartnett), she attempts one last chance at regaining her freedom. Thus, we have a plot that is simple but works as a great pretext for great action scenes, with a fast pace for the story. The cast has great highlights: besides Melissa Leo, Frank Grillo is great - his performance alone is enough reason to watch 'Ida Red'."
