WhileRed Stone may not have the biggest budget, there's an argument to be made that it has the biggest heart. Go to Full Review

This repetitive plot, and believe me when I said "and so on and so on," is hurt enormously (if that's even imaginable) by a low rent cast. Go to Full Review

Frans B @FransB Aug 9, 2025 Pure, unfiltered and unpretentious nonsense. Should be eligible for a Golden Raspberry Award See more
Dave V @MBgolfee Sep 10, 2024 Pretty good action. A little slow moving at times, but overall it is a fun watch. Not a bad film. See more
Laurie S @Karlwinters Feb 26, 2024 There's so many plot holes, so many it's like watching a colander. See more
Bob G @RT37397199 Jan 14, 2024 It strikes me that the turnoff of the reviewers centered on the religious undertone. The movie's pace was fairly steady and plot was a bit disjointed but entertaining , with a nice blend of action, drama, and surprising twists. If you liked Red Stone, you'd enjoy Boon 2022). See more
May 30, 2022 Red Stone (rental) is a low budget crime film. It feels more like a high school production that somehow blackmailed Neal McDonough into being in it. Its career damaging bad with directing, script, most of the acting, and costumes that are laughable at best. 1 star out of 5. See more
harris r @Harrisons_reviews Dec 31, 2021 Neal McDonough deserves better than this. This was probably one of the worst directed films I've seen in a long time. Novice writer and director Derek Presley also failed miserably in directing his cast, as everyone - except McDonough, seemed lost, bored, and didn't know how to act. He kept filming scenes that should've been ended, with the cast just standing around waiting for him to say "cut". Then you have a convoluted story with random unexplained scenes. What was the entire first 5-10 mins about? Drive up to a bridge, see a car, look around, a phone rings and you leave. Total amateur hour filmmaking. Never mind the ridiculous and easily avoidable plot and technical issues. Then you add the slow as molasses pacing, and the unnecessarily long - and what seemed unedited 97 min runtime, and you'll be pulling your hair out wanting it all to end. Presley should've at least had a seasoned writer fix his screenplay, because with such little substance and too much filler, this may have worked as a short or made-for-TV 1 hour film. Low budget B film or not, inexperienced filmmaker or not, there was no excuse to leave so many easily fixable flaws. I wouldn't even expect such a mess from a 5th grade drama class. The score started off loud and annoying, but either I got used to it, or it simmered down towards the end. This film did have some hope and promise to allow overlooking some flaws, but it just had too many of them, and knowing even a decent editor could've fixed most of them, is inexcusable. It's a very generous 3/10 from me, all going to McDonough who was the only one that did anything to hold up this mess while it was drowning. See more
