In the Red

Possibly the worst 70 odd minutes of my life, im very in to the car scene and things of this nature and i can safely say this did not show anything good in cars, action, story, auto culture, acting, editing, directing and whatever else you can think of, even the opening credits are awful and the soundtrack is not even up to pornography of the 70's standards.

Im sorry this is so harsh but it was painful to watch and im glad i didnt spend my money to see it.

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.

Now we know where the plot for the Fast and the Furious came from, and it wasn't just from the Racer X article. The scary thing is, this makes the Fast and the Furious look like an Oscar contender. Avoid at all costs!

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.

In The Red (or Redlined, as the DVD is called) is a bad movie with a good heart. It tries to be The Fast and the Furious, but fails in almost every way.

The movie is about drugs, not about racing, despite it's claims to the contrary. There aren't any cars worth watching in the movie, nor any good racing scenes. All of the car chases seem to be going at a leisurely 30 MPH, giving no illusion excitement or suspense.

I picked it up at walmart out of their $5.88 bin, and for that price, I can't really complain. But having seen it, I wonder if I'll ever bother to watch it again.
