The Red-Light Sting is an interesting blend of crime and thriller elements, all wrapped up in a TV movie format that feels distinctly '80s. The atmosphere is tense and gritty, capturing the seedy underbelly of organized crime with a touch of campiness that’s hard to ignore. Frank Powell, played by a lesser-known actor, embodies the determined government agent archetype, while Kathy Dunn serves as a fascinating centerpiece in the whole operation. The pacing has its ups and downs, with some drawn-out scenes that contrast with bursts of tension. It’s not perfect, but the practical effects and some surprisingly decent performances elevate it above standard fare. There's something about its premise—using a brothel as a sting operation—that just sticks with you.
