Summary: Redline could have been a much better fim
Comment: I've never seen a worse film put together than Redline in my life.Its ashame,but with alittle more effort,it could have been great.The girls and cars were beutifull,and some of the actors were not that bad,especially the main guy,Nathan Phillips,who reminded me alot like Health Leager.The ending was alittle thrilling and interesting,but who ever editted this movie should be fired.

Summary: "The Fast and the Furious" It Is Not
Comment: OK, I knew this film was not going to be a "masterpiece" or anything. I knew it is not a contender for Oscar or Golden Globe. It is not hard for us to imagine what the story of "Redline" would be like as "Redline" happens to be one of the working titles of "The Fast and the Furious," but that is fine. Despite its silly and incredible story, I liked "The Fast and the Furious" series and the car race scenes (yes, I have seen all of them).
Sadly "Redline" directed by stunt-turned-director Andy Cheng is not as enjoyable as any of them, not even the second "FF" which I consider the least successful of the three. Actually, "Redline" turned out much worse than I expected in more than one way (and I didn't expect very much).
As other reviewers have rightly pointed out here, "Redline" has no coherent storyline, no charismatic actor (where is Vin Diesel?) or no great acting; instead it has so many stereotypical or unbelievable characters (Eddie Griffin's character and a singer/street car driver played by Nadia Bjorlin are easily the worst), but there is more to this terribly directed film.
I thought there should be a great car action or two that would make up for the lack of reasonable story or decent acting. I was wrong. Yes, you will be seeing cool cars running wildly, but the film's "action" scenes, all poorly-shot and edited, always remain un-thrilling throughout and the results of the race are transparent from thousand miles away. Moreover, these illegal racers cause car crashes on the road involving innocent vehicles, and we are supposed to cheer for them.
According to IMDb, a Porsche ($400,000 worth) was really used in a car crash scene. I should report this as trivia here. Actually this wasted car is the only thing I find really interesting in "Redline."

Summary: Villians make a movie great and Redline has a fantastic villian
Comment: As others have said, this movie is not well acted nor does it have a great story.
I give it one star for the cars...for a car movie, this one has awesome cars.
I give it another star because the movie somehow made the corniness be lots of fun.
Finally, I give it two more stars because of the unique and colorful villian. A good villian is someone you want to be like...minus the bad traits. Darth Vader, Star Trek's Khan, the Joker, Hannibal Lector, and so on. Well add another role model villian on that list. Angus Macfadyen plays Michael D' Orazio...a billionaire who gambled big and lost. Some may see him as bizarre, but Michael is a complex, sensitive, and deep character. He has totally achieved what few people have: he isn't influenced by anyone else. This is the achievement of zen masters...thus, Michael has a master quality about him. Of course, in the movie he chooses to do foolish things that results in negative things happening to him. But that is just a movie role...but the character serves as a role model of rising above outward influence, above peer pressure, above anything other than what one wants. And isn't that what we should strive for...coupled with wisdom of course.
