Red Skies

About This Movie

Red Skies is one of those TV movies that kind of flies under the radar but has a unique vibe. The pacing is brisk, which keeps you engaged, and it has this gritty atmosphere typical of early 2000s action flicks. The story follows a young Chinese female cop as she navigates the seedy underbelly of Southern California, searching for a high-profile criminal.

You get a sense of the cultural clash here, and the practical effects, though not groundbreaking, do add to the raw feel of the chase. It's not groundbreaking by any means, but there’s a charm to its straightforward storytelling and the portrayal of its lead character that feels pretty distinctive in its own right.
