I think he's one of the most overrated film makers. In all his "classic" movies that everyone seems to love, the acting and dialogue come off as wooden and contrived. It's like you can tell you're watching an actor repeat lines he/she just memorized a few minutes ago off a piece of paper.
Never understood why people hold them in such high regard.
They are just OK movies with a few well-placed crude jokes and one-liners.
Just the same, Red State was a passable horror / thriller type movie but certainly nothing special.
