Redline
It’s 2am on a Saturday morning and I’ve just finished watching Redline. It’s a 90 minute movie, and it took me over 2 hours to watch. Why? I got bored and paused it a lot. This movie is the biggest tart-toting B-grade-actor weak-plotted movie I’ve seen in a long time. It’s almost unwatchable, and the plot is so weak that I’m not surprised that no brand-name actors particpated. So what made me finish watching it? The cars are fantastic. I do love shiney Ferrari’s
The race scenes are quite nicely filmed, not as good as The Fast And The Furious (any of them), but they are longer and still good.
The movie starts off with a group of rich people making bets on street racers. Then one of the main characters has his brother arrive back from Iraq, and it turns out he is some sort of ninja who specialises in blowing peoples houses up and picking fights. Oh, the main female lead, who’s occupation is a mechanic garage owner and part time singer, also turns out to be some sort of kung fu guru, but she’s not so handy with the C4. This probably doesn’t make much sense, and neither does the movie - the plot is just too fragmented and the actors are not good enough to pull it off. The slogan on the cover is about right, but that’s all that is any good in the movie.
