Movie News: Ida Red trailer

Ida “Red” Walker (Melissa Leo), the biological mother of a criminal family sits rotting in jail. She is a widow as a result of the bust that nabbed her. Now that she’s got cancer, she wants to die in freedom. So she plots both a parole and, true to form, a heist.

Her two sons are successful career criminals, ethical Wyatt (Josh Hartnett) and psycho Dallas (Frank Grillo). There is also sister Jeanie (Deborah Ann Woll), stranged from Ida because she married kind and dim cop Bodie Collier (George Carroll). Their rebellious teen kid Darla (Sofia Hublitz) is drawn to uncle Wyatt and is romantically involved with local dirtbag Petey (Nicholas Cirillo).

Wyatt’s having a hard time after a truck heist goes wrong, and cranky FBI Special Agent Lawrence Twilley (William Forsythe), who is partnering with Collier, is on the trail. Dallas, who appoints himself cleaner, nastily shoots people responsible for the screw-up, or their kin.

Starring Josh Hartnett, Frank Grillo, Melissa Leo and William Forsythe.
