As a serious collection of speed freaks gather to hit the streets in hopes of winning 24 million dollars, every rule is broken and the law simply doesn't have enough horsepower to ensure that justice is served. With the speedometer maxed out and the past becoming nothing more than a fading image in the rearview mirror, these drivers will do whatever it takes to win the prize that promises to change their life forever. In addition to featuring a score (and cameo) by hip-hop icon Wyclef Jean, Redline was produced by real-estate developer-turned-producer Daniel Sadek -- who not only financed the 26-million-dollar film, but also donated his personal car collection to the production. Featured automobiles include Sadek's Lamborghini Murcielago, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari F430, Ferrari Scaglietti Phantom, and two McLarens. In a bid to increase the realism of the driving scenes, one of Sadek's two 400,000-dollar Porsche Carrera GTs was set to be destroyed for the film. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's not so much a film as a cheesy garage calendar scantily-clad, over-made up "cheap" women as hood-ornaments.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The whole thing is pretty stupid, but Angus Macfadyen is watchable as the villain.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
An idiotic action thriller, vanity project and testosterone-filled guilty pleasure whose sole purpose is to show off a fleet of million-dollar Ferraris and Lamborghinis belonging to fledgling movie mogul Daniel Sadek.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
It's hard to say whether gleaming automobiles or women's bodies are given the more fetishlike treatment in this vanity production.
Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
The cars in the film are treated with more respect than the women.
Andy Webster, New York Times
The movie Redline is all about surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn.
Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
It's your typical studio vehicle so to speak, about the illegal world of underground racing with hot women, no brains, and a paper thin plot that's basically non-existent or relevant to the events on screen.
S. Jhoanna Robledo, Common Sense Media
Mindless auto racing film a drag for teens and up.
Jim Lane, Sacramento News & Review
The movie would play almost as a postmodern parody of 1960s drive-in fare if it weren't put forward with such a silly straight face.
Pam Grady, Reel.com
This is one of those movies in which virtually no one comes out unscathed.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
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.
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
Yawn.
Linda Cook, Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Well...at least you can look at the cars.
Frank Lovece, Film Journal International
Looks like a music-video without the music--sleek visuals, lots of things moving around the screen, girls posing, and guys dressed like it's the 1980s. Steer clear.
Jim Ridley, L.A. Weekly
The makers of this self-indulgent autopalooza take a Ferrari engine, Porsche speed, Mercedes horsepower, and a Shelby Mustang chassis and somehow combine them into a Yugo.
Tim Cogshell, Boxoffice Magazine
Redline mostly feels like one long stunt intercut with the boring parts of a porn movie.

Chicks and cars, chick and cars.... two things that blokes love! But is that enough to warrant watching this movie? Just download it or spend a dollar at the video store, not worth 10 bucks for a movie ticket. But anyways, the cool thing about this car flick is of course... the NIIIIICCCCCCCCEEEEEE collection of exotics... seriously they should be in the credits than the bad actors... though the lead girl is HAAWWT she hasnt got a career in the movies, and might be resigned to making movies like this, like all other bombshells.... but hey if she can drive like that in life, she can shift my gears anytime! XD just watch it for the obvious reasonsand get over it.... though the CAR action scenes are pretty cool, but the stunts reek of computer graphics.... direction poor, pretty much everything is lame except the car chases and races. Lambos, Ferrari's, Shelby's, Bugatti's, Merc's and anything worht more than 400 grand..... hey hey hey!! 2 Stars for the cars.... and maybe a genrous half added for Ms Nadia, the hottie who can sing. Watch it and move on.... the next Fast and Furious is being shot, Vin and Paul returning, so hopefully that will be better!

Sure there are plenty of hot women in Redline, but nothing turns me on more than wanton disregard of physics, script-writing ability, acting and quality in general. Ooooooh yeah.

Coolest Movie This Year!!! ^_^

The script needed help but the car chases....car races...exotic cars...exotic women....whoooooo...this is definitely a high in testosterone movie.
Yinalí R

This movie was kind of boring.
William G

A relentless barrage of moronic moments.
Chosen 7

Decent action/racing flick. Some not so good acting and fight choreography but still entertaining.
Leo L

Hmmmm...but, it has cars, though. Interesting.
