In the Red

i wasn't really thrilled with this one,, i thought that it was gonna sorta b like a cheap budget version of fast and the furious like urban gritty style.. well i was wrong not enough cars or women. mainly a main character who the police are after,, he does bad things leads them on chases and such, i just feel like that the cover of the video box ripped me off, i gotta stop buying movies based on the artwork cover thats on the darn box,, i mean the movie wasn't' the most horrible thing that i ever watched there's prolly bout 100 below this one on my list, i watched the whole thing just to give it an honest review, i guess i was expecting more out of this movie, but in retrospect i shouldn't have been expecting much being low budget,

Put this film on as a friend said to watch it just for the scenes with Steve Bisley, from the get go though it made no sense, the opening sequence is pointless, I got two thirds through this film and lost total interest and threw it in the bin, there is only one other film that I have done this with and it was John Carpenters Ghosts of Mars.

The films only redeeming feature is Steve Bisley who is basically playing the Goose from Mad Max 1, he even uses the same dialogue.

In a nut shell this film is someone saying "Wow The Fast and The Furious was good, lets make our own version, but for $10,000 and with no talent or script" AVOID !

As an aussie, I am ashamed of this film... I know we have much better actors than what we have to put up with in this flick. Steve Bisley and Terry Serio are good, seasoned actors who must have done this under duress.. I have seen better produced car chases in the keystone kops. The script was all over the place, and badly performed. Warwick Youngs character (Dasha), is totally unbelievable as a policeman, as is the entire police force portrayed here. A few (like maybe 4) hot cars are shown, but little more action than a few tyre smoking donuts. The exception being a reverse driving scene well done by the stunt team. Both sides have ample opportunity to kill, but choose to maim and embarrass instead...real tough!!! With better acting and editing, this movie could have been enthralling, but I only sat through it....well, I don't know why really!!

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.

This movie is absolutely awful... bad acted, bad directed, bad edited... really bad in every aspect.

Avoid it at all costs... except if you wanna laugh for a while.
