Redline 2007

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The whole thing is pretty stupid, but Angus Macfadyen is watchable as the villain. Read more

Nathan Rabin, AV Club: A PG-13 celebration of hot chicks, fast cars, and deplorable behavior is like diet Mountain Dew, near-beer, or an expletive-free version of Straight Outta Compton -- a tame, watered-down version of the real thing. Read more

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger: The cars in the film are treated with more respect than the women. Read more

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Although the movie's artistic merits are virtually nonexistent, Sadek does understand his audience, most of whom are unlikely to be acquainted yet with two key aspects of the film: driver's licenses and women. Read more

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's not so much a film as a cheesy garage calendar scantily-clad, over-made up "cheap" women as hood-ornaments. Read more

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: Do yourself a favor and stay home. Griffin's 21-second wrecking-the-Enzo video on YouTube is more exciting (and better directed, and better acted ...) than anything in Redline. Read more

Todd McCarthy, Variety: The pic oozes the charm and personality of an industrial film. Read more
