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

    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."

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

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

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Wow, this happen when Fast and Furious and Tekken have a son? Because if all their sons be like this I prefer scape. Okay, Redline is a new action film, is in the line of Fast and Furious, have much action scenes, explosions, and all this things. And what happen? A bigger disaster. Because the cast is terrible, the performances of ALL are terrible. And the screenplay, please, I think that a Kinder Garden's boy do a better thing. Because all the lines are about the money, and the cars, and hot girls, and sex, and is all. The cars can be fantastic, but is not much for do an amazing action film, inclusive 2 Fast 2 Furious be better. And the trama, the "fantastic trama", is like watching a TV bad movie. Redline have much terrieble and poor elements for intent overcome the other cars saga. With much mistakes Redline is one of the worst movies of 2007, other movies be better, yes inclusive Cars have a better trama.… Full Review »

    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.… Full Review »
