What a terrible movie! The only things worth seeing in this flick are the cars and Nadia Bjorlin. Otherwise don't waste your time watching this drivel! Also the name of the German car, Porsche is NOT pronounced "Porsh" as it is in the movie. It is PROPERLY pronounced as "Por' Shuh." Two syllables with the accent on "Por." The letter "e" at the end of Porsche is pronounced as a short "a" exactly the same as the "a" at the end of Toyota. Anyone who knows anything at all about cars knows this! Anyone who does NOT know this evidently drives a "Toyot" or a "Ferrar" or a "Chevrol." Porsche does not advertise very often, mostly during auto races, but when they do it is ALWAYS pronounced as "Por'Shuh." MY GOD, get it RIGHT! If you don't believe me, look it up for yourself, it's right here on the internet!

Shortly after the Box-office premiere of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift in 2006, which was a real let-down to the All American crowd, Las Vegas backed Chicago Pictures released in the same genre a movie called Redline, where way more expensive cars and wagers are scripted as in the Fast and Furious movies. Redline starts ravishing with a Lamborghini, where speeds are towed up well above 200 mph, resulting in the state-troopers Fat-boy Harley get blown over by the created wind storm, and cannot instigate the pursuit. At night speeds are likewise towed up well passed 200 mph for the same purpose, but guess what, the driver switches off his headlights and uses standard issue night goggles from the Iraq war to see where he's driving. Night goggles in the Las Vegas desert at night driving a 200mph car ? My gut tells me it has happened, where from time to time only a Redline in the desert at night can be observed. This may seem far fetched and over the top, but if your driving over 200 mph on a public road you are responsible for everything else on the road as other traffic will never see you coming in time, at broad daylight and night. Switching of the headlights is then the equivalent of flying under the radar at night. The movie is centered around some heavy fat cats from Las Vegas who from time to time hold car races where millions are deposited as wager straight from their offshore cayman bank accounts. Redline is clearly intended as a fun ride focusing on expensive cars and women, with blue eyed Natasha (Nadia Bjorlin) as the eye catcher who is truly stealing the show and race. If you like to see real fast cars in real action Redline is the one to watch.

Close to the worst movie I have ever seen, and the worst racing movie I have ever seen.The plot was stupid. The acting was stupid. The dialog was stupid.Only the cars were cool, and they could not make up for the movie.You know how some movies are so bad they're good? This is not one of those movies, at least for me. I was too busy feeling sorry for myself for paying money for the DVD. OK, so it was a bargain bin DVD. For all I know it was $5. It was $5 too much.The only good thing about the movie was it was so bad, it makes me feel better about my life just complaining on IMDb about how bad it is.I am quite optimistic about movies and can sometimes find SOME reason to watch any particular one. Not this one. Don't waste your time. There are enough car movies that you can skip this one. Watch one of the four Fast and Furious movies. While some are not great, they are ALL better than this, no contest.

Of course you shouldn't expect Meryl Streep and Al Pacino acting performances here...IT'S A MOVIE ABOUT CARS AND RACING! I, unlike everyone else here, really liked this movie. The ballers were big...betting $1 Million dollars that a man could travel from LA to Vegas in an hour and a half (by Mercedes McClaren and night vision...brilliant!)...to a $100 Million dollar mega race. It was very fun and had a good pace and an accidental storyline that sufficed. The standout character was Angus Macfadyen(Michael), who created a totally believable, scumbag, money launderer (who happened to also be a whacked- out vegan/existentialist megalomaniac bond villain)...and so convincingly did this within the plastic framework of this, OK, "bubble- gum" movie. But what's wrong with bubble gum? Again, this isn't 'Sophie's Choice' or 'Godfather II'. Another movie I LOVED in this genre was Fast And Furious Tokyo Drift. Again, not the greatest movie of all time, but it captures a youthful mood and fun excitement...as this movie does. And, again, who doesn't love some of the best cars in the world being DRIVEN!!! I'd buy the DVD and wouldn't have been dissatisfied paying to see it in a theater.
