Given the fact that this movie was made for $7,000 dollars as a way to show the viewer how they can make a low budget movie, it's quite good. The entire movie is very tongue in cheek, a fact that seems to be missed by the (I'm guessing) Millennial viewers.
The movie is meant to be paired with the Robert Rodriguez Film School series of videos. Still, the movie stands on its on as enjoyable low budget fun. The acting, story and production are good enough to the carry the film. It has a good twist and a satisfying ending. You won't feel ripped off for sitting through the very quick, under an hour and a half run time. If you're an aspiring film maker you may find it inspiring!

Clearly someone had an agenda here. 300+ ratings of this movie keeping the movie in the 4 range, but only 5 reviews from people who actually watched it and it gets mostly 7's (which it deserves). This was a creative, nicely done movie used as much as teaching tool for young filmmakers to once again show you how to do everything yourself so that you do not need large amounts of money in order to follow your dreams of being a filmmaker. As the intro that most versions of this film contain, Rodriguez tells us there is an accompanying documentary shot as he filmed it so that you can literally see how to film, light, edit, etc, on a budget and still come away with something good. It doesn't hurt to be able to write a good script to go along with all that but that's a whole other learning experience. Don't look at the ratings and pass. Give this movie a chance. It's fun, it's clever, it's creative and I've seen worse acting from larger budget films. And if you're into that kind of thing, definitely stick around for the documentary if it's available on your version.
$5000 bucks??! This was made for $5000. WOW. I think that knowledge added to the movie, but even still, the story was engrossing, mysteries abound, the actors were great, and who can possibly forget the SCORE! It was just so entertaining.
Red 11 is one of the greatest movies Robert Rodriguez ever made so far.
I love it that it was (sort of) based on a true story of when Rodriguez became a lab rat for medical drug tests, just to finance his first feature movie "el mariachi"., truthfully. I believe it was worth it!. Also enjoy, that the rest of red 11, was exaggerated. But I believe its a "what if" story. What if the whole incident at the lab, happened THAT way. One more its one of the best original movies I've watched so far. Very funny moments, great directing & cinematography, etc. I give the movie 8/10.

Ok so you watch the trailer not read reviews first. That's my advice . This movie is fresh, fast paced, exciting and just a really enjoyable film. Great Effort from the cast..and kept me in suspense right up to end. Again low budget but hey they did well!
