Reaction: As a more modestly budgeted action film, or comic book adaptation for that matter, than most, Red Wolf did not have to make nearly the amount of money that most Marvel adaptations would to make a healthy profit.




"As an old school, stripped down action flick, Red Wolf totally works. Marvel (and younger) fans expecting big-budget, effects-driven heroics will surely be disappointed, but fans of action movies from 1970s and 80s should have a lot of fun." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press




"Red Wolf feels like a cousin to LRF's Punisher and it kicks total ass. It gave off the vibes of Walking Tall meets First Blood, carried by a star-making performance from Tatanka Means (LRF’s next top action star?). And, of course, the performance of Billy Bob Thornton is worth mentioning as he has the time of his life just oozing evilness." - Phil Silva, The Atlantic



"Red Wolf is heavy on character and light on action. Fans of modern day action films will probably find this one too slow, even with strong performances - definitely stronger than the usual performances found in films of this ilk - from Tatanka Means (son of the late, great Russell Means) and Billy Bob Thornton. Some more action or a quicker pace could have helped the entertainment value for mass audiences, but something tells me that's not what the filmmakers were shooting for with this introspective, spiritual revenge story." - Glenn Howard, Total Film





Rated PG-13 for intense action, language and thematic elements
