Redline (2007)
9/10
Redline finishes strong!
15 April 2007
Let 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.
