In this crime thriller, Jason Chandler (Patrick Muldoon) is an FBI agent who is trying to hunt down a serial killer nicknamed "The Silencer" for his habit of cutting out the tongues of his victims. As Chandler tries to uncover the trail of "The Silencer," he is recruited for an elite FBI unit called the "Red Team," which is devoted solely to hunting down serial killers; however, the more Chandler studies their methods, the more he finds himself thinking the Red Team may be doing more harm than good. Chandler also finds himself developing a very non-professional relationship with his new partner, Stephanie Dobson (Cathy Moriarty). As Jason and Stephanie do research on The Silencer, they discover evidence that there's another unusual killer on the loose -- a multiple murderer who is targeting serial killers. Red Team was also released under the title The Crimson Code. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Crimson Code is a B-rate thriller starring C. Thomas Howell (Soul Man) as a vicious criminal and Patrick Muldoon (Starship Troopers) as an FBI agent on the case. Presented in a full-frame edition from Artisan, =Crimson Code's transfer is decent if a bit disappointing. Most of the images are clean and clear with only a small amount of dirt or defects present. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds distortion-free. Though a bit weak when it comes to full surround sound, this is an even mix of effects, dialogue, and music. No subtitles are included on this disc. =Crimson Code features a few scant extra features, though "fans" of the movie will delight in a commentary track by director Jeremy Haft. While the director tends to state the painfully obvious ("Here we start with the opening credits..."), the track is informative and moderately interesting. Also included on this disc are some talent files as well as a trailer for the film. If B-grade thrillers are your cup of tea, then by all means you'll want to drink up this edition of Crimson Code. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
