Red Line

I liked this movie, it was well acted and directed and it was a good story line. However it is not about a speeding subway of terror. It was still a good movie, just don't expect an action packed movie, it is not. I think people should see it and make their own minds up.

It only moving objects, fast action scenes and exploding items for 2 hours can excite you, this movie is not for you.

If you're otherwise interested in a captivating movie with an interesting story line and plot twists you will definitely not regret watching it.

This movie keeps things exciting and I was on the edge of my seat a lot. The acting performances are good, particularly that of the person playing the terrorist. The excitement of solving the mystery and the urgency of preventing more deaths make this quite entertaining. And of course there are the moral dilemmas. Even young Dillon does something quite surprising.

I think it's worth seeing.

Yeah, it's one of those movies that kinda exploits 9/11.

It starts off pretty cool. I like the opening shot which I feel does a good job of introducing the main characters and telling us what type of people we are dealing with without saying anything. Then again, the characters never really grow out of this intro, making them one dimensional.

Then boom, the train comes to a halt pretty devastatingly. That could have been more terrifying if not for the CGI being a little over zealous, but the destruction was kind of cool.

Then boom, the signs of a terrorist attack turns whitey into complete bigots automatically pointing to the brown skin kid who of course was not who they assume he was.

Seen it done before and done better. At first it seem like this "misunderstanding" was going to be a small part of the movie and it really should have been, but it does not feel like it.

There was some pretty good acting by some of the cast, or maybe not good acting, just people who I really like watching on the screen, but not enough to make it a good flick.

This movie, given the time, effort and coordination by talented individuals would have come across as less wanna-be blockbuster and more of a suspenseful thriller. Sadly, the bland and pedestrian efforts made by John-Paul the Great University staff and Alumni came across as a juvenile rendition of what one thinks of a big budget blockbuster. The inept direction and cinematography didn't help the picture and only added to the faults found throughout this facade.

Two out of ten stars.
