Fear Nothing. Risk Everything.
"Redline" is an auto/action thriller that features the personal exotic car collection of the producer, real estate investor Daniel Sadek. Sadek who is financing the $26 million movie used his own cars including a Phantom Rolls Royce, Lamborghini Murcielago, Enzo Ferrari, Ferrari F430, Ferrari Scaglietti and two Mercedes SLR McLarens. Sadek's $450,000 Porsche Carrera GT is actually crashed during one sequence. Eddie Griffin accidentally crashed and destroyed the Enzo Ferrari, one of only 400 ever produced.

WHEN is IMDb going to put in a ZERO button. Redline=Flatline
posted on 08 Aug 2009I actually watched this entire movie and tried not to scream at the TV (it was really late at night and I didn't want to wake the neighborhood) The characters are 2-D make no mistake about it. The girl lead was not even that. Ace mechanic AND hot singing chick? Really? AND STILL CAN'T ACT? I keep thinking when I see movies this awful; JUST how hard it is to get a good scriptwriter and come up with a decent plot? Well I have to admit I had this long scathing review written but others have said it all before, this movie was just plain awful. The best thing they could have done was re-shoot the girlie parts and have them all get naked, and have sex in the cars. THAT would have at least made the movie worth watching.Give me 26 million and I GUARANTEE I could do a better movie AND it would show a profit.
Not bad at all
posted on 27 Jul 2009I don't have an idea what bite you guys, I guess you have been watching too much of that Potter crap.. Redline sure isn't something to pay for yourself - I saw it at my friends place - but surely a great movie. It had nice cars and beautiful women, yeah the story was a little bit weak but still acceptable. The ending was a little too fast - I would've preferred a longer one. I really liked Carlo and Natasha as the main characters.In conclusion, I wouldn't trade these 90 minutes to nothing else(well, maybe except s*x lol) and I've seen better movies, but still this is something to watch & enjoy.
Worse movie I have ever seen, and I have seen House of the Dead and Gigli
posted on 17 Jul 2009It was almost worth sitting through this entire god-awful "film" just to know that I can never experience anything as bad as this again. Acting - 0, script - 0, fight scenes - 0, male lead - 0 (cheddar bob from eight mile as a suave war hero who gets the girl), Nadia Bjorlin - 10 (She is gorgeous and not a terrible actress). This is the criteria I used to average it out to a two. I lost count but I believe ever movie cliché, ever, is in this movie. When the driver that supposedly killed her father miraculously shows up at the end to race against her, from out of nowhere it cemented the previous statement. Plus he just shows up for no reason. He was never even mentioned before. I don't know what else to say here. Just watch it when it comes out on TV in a couple years. At least that way some of it will be edited out for commercials.
*Red Line*
posted on 07 Jul 2009this movie was awesome.it is definitely an action packed film.all the actors did an amazing job.the driving was fanominal by both guys and GIRL.this movie i think was better then "The Fast and The Furious" movies, only by a little. So if you liked all 3 of "The Fast and The Furiouse" movies you will like "Red Line". You will never get bored of watching this movie because there is so many good parts. Not to worry girls there are also some romantic parts in it.I would truthfully rate this movie as a 20 if I could.So if you like fast cars,action, and speed you should definitely see this movie because it is worth seeing. I actually am going to see it again with another group of friends.
Redline finishes strong!
posted on 27 Jun 2009Let me be the first to say that my knowledge of movie making is very limited, but I do know what I like. I thought the movie was good. There were both good things and bad things about the movie, but overall I liked it, and would pay to see it again. I think the plot was solid, and easy to follow, and never lost my interest. There were a couple of scenes that were somewhat predictable, but allowed the viewer to just enjoy the movie rather than have to analyze every little detail. The cinematography was excellent. The multiple camera angles, and the split screens with the animations were awesome. The shots from the helicopters were very cool. The editing was fabulous. The locations and scenery were better than most films. I would hate to see how much all of the permits cost to shoot on the public streets, especially the Vegas scenes! The car chase scenes actually had a reason for being there, they weren't there just for added action. I personally think the stunt driving, car chasing/racing scenes were better than a lot of blockbuster movies such as the remake of "Gone in Sixty Seconds" or either "Fast and the Furious" movies. For the most part the acting was excellent. I thought the lead male role (the soldier) could have been better cast. While his fight scenes were very well choreographed and believable to watch, he didn't look comfortable in the speaking parts. All the other casting and acting was great. Eddie Griffin supplied the perfect amount of humor to keep the audience entertained. The women, OH MY GOD, all of them, in every shot! Speechless! If I had seen this movie with my girlfriend, I would have been in trouble for having my tongue hang out of my mouth for an hour and a half! I have never seen so many beautiful women in one movie! Or so many beautiful cars! The balance between awesome cars and awesome women was unbelievable. For an independent film I would give this an A+. This was by far the most entertaining, edge of your seat, car racing film I have ever seen.
Not the worst movie you'll ever see.
posted on 21 Jun 2009Redline is not the worst movie you will ever see, in fact believe it or not, there are worse movies out there and I can name a few.1. HUNTING SEASON, a low budget movie that displays a level of stupidity Redline doesn't come close to, and with acting that is beyond the worst you'll ever see.2. THE CAVERN, a horror film that has a director who thinks shaking the camera makes the movie scary each time the monster jumps out, but it only gives you a headache and you can't see what goes on half the time because more than half of the scenes are too dark.3. FIVE ACROSS THE EYES, another low budget movie that shows pure stupidity, it features a group women returning home from a football game and soon find themselves being chased by a shotgun carrying maniac, and during these chase scenes the only thing these girls know what to do is scream, argue, slap each other in the face, and puke coffee, and to top it off the shotgun freak you can easily tell is a woman, but is referred to as a guy.If I consider these titles I just pointed out, Redline I can guarantee is not the worst movie on the planet, granted it has its flaws, but so do a lot of other films, including some of the big names, and I'll bet you will find possibly one or two films, with similar flaws as this one and they'll have better ratings, and one thing I would like to point out, this film does not have as many plot holes as I thought, but you do need to pay attention though, and the acting wasn't that bad either, the better performances are given by Nathan Phillips who shows more emotions in his scenes, and Nadia Bjorlin who is possibly the most beautiful woman I've ever seen and reminds me of a girl I haven't seen in years and miss very much, and does play role really well.So, love it or hate it, like I said its not the worst.5 out of 10
Car manufactures should restrict the humiliation of their vehicles !
posted on 13 Jun 2009You already know how painful to watch this movie is. But I wonder why one of the worst movies ever should include one the most beautiful cars. Why the cars should be not only the victim of violation, but also the only true actors and performers in it. So how on Earth you Porsche, Lamborghini or whatever could allow those people to get in touch with your cars and ruin you reputation for which you give millions.Stop the getting an advantage of the cars and earn money on their chests. It is painful for those who love cars. It is painful for those who love movies.I want my money back !!!
Wow!
posted on 13 Jun 2009This movie has some of the most awesome cars I've ever seen in a movie, and definitely the hottest women, but I would have to say it is still one of the worst movies I've ever seen.Here is the plot, and if you read it with a little inflection, you have the acting as well.Beginning, bring in characters, hot woman singing (obvious lip sync). Music agent or producer comes in, thinks that she is awesome asks her to race. She turns down, too many bad memories. Flash to war hero, back from war, has several fights, and becomes movie hero with attitude that he is better than everyone. Drive off in fast exotic car. Brother races, then dies. Hero to avenge death, cut away to getting weapons from friend. (You have never seen this friend before or after, but seems to really care about him) Are you sure you want to do this; Yes; I mean are you really sure; Yes, give me weapons; are you REALLY sure; Yes; OK, I guess I can't talk you out of it, be careful man, I love you.Now he goes to blow up his uncles house who owned the car his brother drove. Finds woman, decides to rescue her, She drives off, and he doesn't finish killing his uncle. Now there will be a race to finish the movie. Oh yeah, need to throw in one more scene with bad people coming in to beat up people that don't really matter, but maybe it adds a little plot. Race is not even that exciting, of course it ends with two cars racing, and one that should win throws in a surprise ending.OK, I just saved you $7.00. You can send all of your money to me, because I should have given you the same amount of enjoyment as this movie does. Don't get me wrong, the cars are awesome, and Nadija is beautiful, but it is truly an awful movie.
Wretched Experience
posted on 22 May 2009I like bad movies. I like to rent bad movies with my friends and rip on them for their duration. Then there are abhorrent movies like this. Redline is not just a bad movie, but a telling sign that maybe the American movie industry should please, for the sake of the viewer, at least proofread scripts before funding a movie.If a stereotype took a crap, this movie would spawn from that. The storyline is unbearable, and the acting all around is laughable. Nadia Bjorlin and Eddie Griffin have, perhaps, the worst screen chemistry I've seen in a good while, and even individually they should be isolated from humanity and beaten with a bag of oranges until they change their profession to street merchants (about the only thing they can legitimately qualify for). Furthermore, how Angus Macfadyen got convinced to do this movie is so far beyond me that I can't even think of an analogy. I am a loyal fan of his, but this has made me question him.To sum it up. Several people want revenge for different reasons (and if you care enough to know what they are, you're a bigger person than me), so much so that it turns to violence (I guess). The movie is like Ouroboros, the snake that swallows its own tail, in that it's an endless cycle of confusion and dialogue not fit for human ears. This movie is essentially one big car commercial for the first half, and an indecipherable action movie for the rest, it should be avoided at any and all costs.I wish I could find one positive aspect to this movie, and I think it lies in the fact that eventually the credits do roll.P.S. Nadia Bjorlin, if that was YOU singing those two songs in this movie, then you are a hack, and I hope old age ravages you.P.S.S. If you DO rent this movie looking for a laughable experience, listen for the lyrics to Nadia Bjorlin's awesome songs.
Its a CAR movie!
posted on 20 May 2009This sums it up. Its a car movie! If your looking for a movie that will win awards for acting or plots ,what are you doing looking at this? If your hung up on acting out movies like "Jack Ass" then you might be what you watch. Simply put, if you like Nice cars, fast cars ,cool cars or just cars in general then you might have a nice time with this one. Some good racing action and a few glimpses of a nice body or two. Not much sex but lots of violence and careless recklessness. I hate car movies that go too far to explain the plot. This was simple, no twists except in cars or cliff hangers except in cars or complicated relationships. Don't try to analyze this and just have fun.
Not quite what we were hoping for
posted on 15 May 2009The Fast and the Furious has become the recent standard by which all other car movies are compared to. Not that there are even many out there to compare to, but Red Line is one of those few. I was quite excited to learn that another racer was being released in theatres similar to Fast and the Furious. I rather enjoyed those three movies thus far, and was hoping Red Line could add to the car movies with some orginality. The previews showed us some great cars and race action. Unfortunately, a preview can't quite show what an overall dissapointment the film can be.
What makes Red Line still worth its buck are the cars. These are true sports cars. The real exotic deals. Not that tricked out stuff in Fast and the Furious. There is some race action, but that's where things begin to dwindle. The race action was no where as intense as Fast and the Furious, and the final race was really the only scene I really enjoyed. There are some scenes of Vegas in the movie, with lots of all those gorgeous bright neon lights. And a small chase scene on the strip as well, too bad it was over rather quickly.
Everyhting else about this movie suffers. The story is basically about crazy men desperate to gamble big bucks on races. They'll do almost anything, and one guy puts his nephews life on the line. There are a variety of elements to the story that could provide some emotional depth and drama, but unfortunately a lacking script and ameatur actors keep things simple. The soundtrack is what one would expect in this kind of movie - hip hop type tracks with a beat, though no songs I really found too familiar. Most viewers seems to be in awe with all the girls in this movie too, but honestly it felt like pointless redundance, all of them standing around doing nothing.
Overall, this is a weak film, but considering it was done in a b-movie tradition, its not too shabby. The cars make this. You may never see such a collection of exotic rides on the screen - and get destroyed.

Disgrace!
posted on 15 May 2009What is bad + bad + plot hole + poor acting + amazing cars + hot women + more awful + death + criminals equal? You got it, its Redline! This script was seriously written by a million monkeys in a room with typewritters. I was there. It's definitely not Shakespeare, by any other name. The subscript of the title says, "Hot women, Hotter cars," and I figured out why. It is because that is the only good to come from this movie. Millions of dollars went into making this movie, and the highest paid actor had to be Eddie Griffin because he is the only well-known actor in there. The writers got paid nothing...they were monkey's remember? Honestly, if you REALLY want to see it, rent it or borrow it from a friend. I was mad that I spent $12 on the movie when it came out on DVD. It is an okay movie to watch once...maybe one half. Definitely no more than that. Though, it is funnier the second time.
Just another attempt at a semi-remake of Fast and the Furious
posted on 12 May 2009I felt like I was watching the Fast and the Furious again, but with different actors and a little bit different plot. I will say the cars in the film are very cool. So, if you like fast cars, then you will probably find this movie mildly entertaining. I also liked Nadia Bjorlin because I've seen her from Days of our Lives. She is a really good singer, but too bad they gave her such lousy songs to sing in this movie. I mean songs about cars; not exactly what you would here on the radio. Since it is a Hollywood film, you have to give this story a little lee way, but in real life I don't think any average joe would come across such a hot girl as Nadia Bjorlin who can drive a race car, fix a car engine, and be a lead singer. It's just all very silly.Another side note, any one willing to wager 25 million on a car race is a nut. But it was kinda of cool at the end when Natasha stops right before the finish line and screws Michael over. Priceless.FINAL VERDICT: This movie is for car freaks. So, if you like fast cars, then I'd recommend this.
Don't listen to the Critics with their ratting on Redline
posted on 08 May 2009Redline was not the boring movie the critics made it out to be. I found it to be a very good movie and I plan to buy it when it comes out on DVD. The story behind the movie was great and kept me interested the whole way through. Redline contained the ingredients for a great movie, (excitement, thrills, suspense, great actors, cool cars, humor, heroes, villains, and romance. Some of the crashes in the movie were very unique and a must see. If you liked The Fast and The Furious series you will not be disappointed with Redline. The only part I found to be cheesy was where the older brother was confronting his younger brother for working for his dishonest uncle. It is not often I am willing to pay to see a movie more than once but I would Redline
Sadly, this film got made
posted on 02 May 2009I saw this film at its world premiere at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on April 12, 2007. It is horribly written, directed, and put together. There is no plot. It is basically a music video for 90 minutes featuring cars and attractive women. Stay away, stay far away. Also, the sound is randomly really bad. I have no idea why this is, but you'd think they could afford decent microphones with the $25 million dollar budget. Also it is obvious that the movie was made simply because the producer spent his own money to complete the film. There is no way, no possible way, this movie would ever attract outside funding on any level whatsoever. Also, Eddie Griffin is PARTICULARLY forgettable and unfunny. He is this strange representation of mediocre celebrity that is featured routinely on VH-1. No one really thinks Eddie Griffin is talented, no one really thinks he is funny, and no one really thinks he's that popular. Therefore, no one in the business really understands his appeal or why he has a career. He should've disappeared long ago. At least Lindsay Lohan can blame her career's existence on the fact that many men over 30 would like to date her - which is entirely why she has a career - she is unequally untalented. But, Eddie, please stop doing what you 'do'.
Was this supposed to be a racing movie?
posted on 24 Apr 2009"A total waste of time" Just throw in a few explosions, non stop fighting, exotic cars a deranged millionaire, slow motion computer generated car crashes and last but not least a Hugh Hefner like character with wall to wall hot babes, and mix in a blender and you will have this sorry excuse for a movie. I really got a laugh out of the "Dr. Evil" like heavily fortified compound. The plot was somewhere between preposterous and non existent. How many millionaires are willing to make a 25 million dollar bet on a car race? Answer: 4 but, didn't they become millionaires through fiscal responsibility? This was written for pubescent males, it plays like a video game. I did enjoy the Gulfstream II landing in the desert though.
Why did I get excited about this movie?
posted on 28 Aug 2009When Redline was first announced, I was excited. I thought, Fast and the Furious with Supercars. Right? Wrong wrong WRONG! I didn't go see it in the theater, and now, having seen it on Starz/Encore, I am really glad I didn't waste the money or time.The acting was horrible (as one review put it, makes FatF look like the Godfather), the direction was mediocre at best, and the casting could have been much better. The only bright spots were Nadia Bjorlin and Eddie Griffin (I love Eddie, and his over-the-top character in this movie was somewhat funny, especially the scene on the racetrack with Nat in the Ford GT). Small thumbs up to the soundtrack as well. It sounded like the soundtrack to any number of Need for Speed games.The real stars of this film, of course, were the cars. It was a thrill, I'll admit, to see some of my dream cars on film (though I cringed to see them destroy the Carrera GT...such a beautiful car). The race scenes were a little over the top, but I can deal with that. It is, after all, a movie, and I believe it's called suspension of disbelief.Bottom line, if this film had had the following things: Plot, decent script, better acting, and more of a focus on character development...well, it might have been a 5 or 6 out of 10. As it is, I gave it a 1 because that's as low as it goes, and really, the cars themselves made it a 1.Only watch this if A)you like horrible movies, or B)you want to see the incredibly awesome and powerful Supercars in this film.
