Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It's a pretty predicable, but has some unique elements. Common content resembling Fast & Furious without the slick style you get with American cinema.Criminals were blander than I'm use to.The relationship between the main protagonist and his ride or die chick was perfect. For all the Scarface wannabes out there, this chick was exactly who you want by your side.The car chases were pretty good, but My American eyes are use to more spectacular Carsploitation, by this point. Overall, It's definitely worth a look at on DVD.
I'll admit it, Fast and the Furious and Driving Miss Daisy are decent movies. Even though I would probably prefer Driving Miss Daisy over F&F, just because it was more realistic, but if you liked F&F, you still won't like Redlined.I didn't expect much out of this movie since it was $5 at Wal-mart and I expected right. I love all kinds of films, foreign/domestic, new/old, etc/etc. So, I'm open to new actors and Aussie dialogue.This movie was pretty pathetic though. The dialogue, setting, and story were pretty boring to start with and didn't get any better. I sat through the whole movie, waiting for it to get good, and it never happened.I wouldn't suggest this movie to anyone. I'm not sure which one is worse: Seed of Chucky or Redlined.
Once upon a time a friend who told me to see a movie about cars similar as fast and furious;obviously he didn't see it.When we began to watch it,we laugh so much we thought we were going to vomit. I recommend this film as a comedy ,because it's so disgusting that the only goal of this garbage is laughing like an insane . My congratulations to the director:if he'd wished to make such a piece of trash on purpose...he couldn't make it. Strong points:when a guys says on phone:-Boss,I failed(or something like that),the boss brakes a bar and the main actor(a completely mthrfckr)shuts a door. 2-the dialogues are ....they just...no dialogues at all 3-and the worst thing is:there is no one good car. Please,anyone who's thinking to watch this,please buy a pizza and listen to opera or shot yourself in the middle of the brain.
The reason that i got this movie was because it was on sale at Target for $6. The cover seemed interesting, so i decided 'why not'?I took it home and started watching it, thinking that it was going to be like a "Fast and Furious" re-make. But it turned out that cars isn't really what this movie is about. I mean, sure the characters drive around in modified cars, but there is no real "street racing" as you might have expected.Instead, it's more about this guy (the main character) who does many illegal activities, and the police want to capture him. So they blackmail another guy who knows the main character, into setting up a meeting so the police can catch him.I think that the movie is set in or near Sydney, Australia. So it's kind of funny hearing the actors talk with Aussie accents, and saying things like "Ay, mate." But it was nice to see a movie that's not made in the USA, and feature actors whom we don't know. In the beginning, you might thing, "what is this!?!?" But give it a chance because as the movie goes on, you get drawn into it. So overall, i would give it a 7/10 rating.
