Variety Todd McCarthy

A demolition derby starring some of the most expensive cars on Earth, Redline portrays a world so drenched in wealth it gives off a stench.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

Redline is the cinematic equivalent of a sports car ad in Maxim magazine.

The New York Times Andy Webster

This film is about surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn, and the racing passages snap.

LA Weekly Jim Ridley

The cars and stunt work are real, and so is the rather endearing retro cheesiness. This is the movie that really belongs with Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof."

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

If there's a lesson to be found in this shameless vanity project, it's that money can buy anything. Even a movie.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin

A PG-13 celebration of hot chicks, fast cars, and deplorable behavior is like diet Mountain Dew, near-beer, or an expletive-free version of Straight Outta Compton--a tame, watered-down version of the real thing.

Los Angeles Times John Anderson

Redline isn't exactly a car wreck, mainly because it's far less exciting, and you can, in fact, look away. Perhaps at your shoes.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

The whole thing is pretty stupid, but Angus Macfadyen is watchable as the villain.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

The lesson is that money can buy a vanity project, but it can't buy talent, imagination or an audience.

Boston Globe Jonathan Perry

An action flick loaded with cars, chrome, and silicone, is everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment.

Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov

The movie feels mechanical all the way through, leaving Sadek's debut an inauspicious and ill-lubed affair.

San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub

This movie is so horrible that it actually spends some time in "so bad it's good" territory, before getting significantly worse.

Jamie M. gave it a0:
Boring and overacted.

Ed S. gave it a10:
Loved it. I'm a fan of about every element of this movie. Action, exotic cars, car racing, gambling, vegas, and women! So this is my kinda action film. Plot and characters weren't all that special, but hey, I liked Jack Ass the movie too.

Bonanza Jellybean gave it a2:
While this film doesn't promise to deliver anything other than the obvious (large breasts, fast cars, wealthy men bathing in money, the occcasional explosion), it is absurd and contrived enough to insult your intelligence and leave you feeling as though the producer really thinks his wealth is more important than your time.
