Nearly 13, Alice rebels, telling the Paris police that her mother is a murderer. Alice has no evidence; her mother, Eva, rich and powerful, avoids charges. Alice promptly runs away, determined to find her dad whom she claims lives in Portugal. The police believe he is dead and that Alice is in denial. Nonetheless, they dispatch Anita, an Italian police officer on loan to the French, to find Alice and bring her back. Meanwhile, Eva has launched her own paramilitary force to hunt for Alice, and Alice has found a protector in Hugo, an ex-soldier turned hit man and gang member. He promises to get her to her father. All roads lead to a small town on the Portuguese coast.

To me, this movie is perfection.

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

FirstWitch

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Honestly, if this movie had not included the aforementioned shooting scene, there would be really not much to see. In short, a not bad idea with a bad delivery. Acting not really believable and pardon me, Franch actors trying not to sound French, even with their voices dubbed onto the movie as they most probably could not deliver acting performance together with not sounding French. Funny if not ridiculous at times. Instead of saying the usual French 'otel' - I mean 'hotel', pronouncing every single syllable to the best of their abilities. Totally unbelievable role of the female cop, naive, dumb and artificial. Nice try, try harder next time...

"The Red Siren" is a B-flick about a teen runaway who falls in with a part time soldier-of-fortune who protects her from a small army of Mom's heavies while a beautiful cop (Argento) tries to find them to help out. In spite of some good camera work and real locations, this film has a phony plot and characters who aren't even remotely believable. Scripting, editing, and direction is lousy giving "The Red Siren" a slick but sloppy look with very little going for it save a bit of action (one fire fight), a brief chase scene and no romance or sex. Pretty awful stuff even for the couch potato, this is a good film to pass over. Not recommendable except for fans of Argento who get's precious little screen time.(C)

Although a little slow at the start the Red Siren warms up to be a movie worth watching.What the red siren lacks in terms of a strong story line it makes up in the magical way it has been filmed. I would recommend seeing this film just for the magic behind some scenes.The plot is somewhat weak and it feels like something is missing at the end and some of the acting is lacking at times but all in all I found the Red Siren to be a good movie.Hugo and Alice make a good team and the chemistry between the actors make it believable for Hugo to be transporting Alice across Europe.

Euro thriller is flawed but mostly entertaining. Casting is a typical Euro-pudding mish-mash of international actors and varying accents, with some actors obviously and not particularly well-dubbed. Asia Argento at least does her own dialogue, but some of the voice actors here are stiff enough to be distracting, particularly the girl, who never really generates much sympathy since her line readings have all the emotion of a bored child in language class. The central relationship between the good-hearted mercenary and the girl on the run from men with guns is highly reminiscent of Leon, but without any of the chemistry. Like most European films shot in English the script suffers from frequent, occasionally laughable tin ear for the language. On the plus side the movie is quite stylish and the suspense set pieces are well-constructed and mostly quite effective. On the whole I would recommend this one, but with a more competent English language rewrite and a cast that actually could speak the language, this might have been a far better film.
