first of all why do you hate it so much second of all If you hate it so much why did you bother to post it. Afterall, if you hate it, why do you put so much thought into something you don't even enjoy?
sharei think you must be very young or this is the first movie you've ever seen so you like it. cool cars and hot women or guys does not a good movie make. what are the elements of good movies that make them so respected? plot, dialogue, character development, directing quality, etc etc. go watch some good movies like goodfellas or american history x and it should become quite clear to you that redline has none of these elements.
shareim not very young and it also depends on what you like in a movie. I like race cars and women kicking butt so i like this movie and i thought it was funny with eddie griffen. I really liked the end when natasha flipped micheal off. Everybody likes different movies. Also american history x is totally different plot!!
shareyeah, but it's a good plot. big difference. whatever floats your boat, but people as easily pleased as you are the reason hollywood gets away with putting out so much crap, no offense.
sharew/e your opinion not mine so say what you want to say about this. some people like it and some people dont. we all have different taste in movies and i like this movie and thats all that matters.
shareWhy the *beep* did you start another thread about this? You've been whining about people hating this movie all over the forum. You MUST be a twelve-year-old girl using her mommy's laptop to like this movie and post so much about it.

omg im 17 happy now!! im not a 12 year old child taking my moms labtop.
shareactually you're most likely closer to 14 or 15. the "92" in your name is a dead giveaway.
shareAccording to her taste in movies, 14 or 15 is probably right.

haha dont just assume. you dont even know me im 17 and that 92 means when my younger sister was born thank you very much.
shareWell, you obviously have a 14 year old girl's taste in movies, so I should very well assume that is how old you are.
But to keep this argument from being about your age, I would very much like for you to explain to me what was so good about the plot and acting in this movie that doesn't make you sick.
If I had a Time Machine, I would go back to 1993 and kill George Lucas with a shovel. -Pat Oswalt
you really think a 14 year old girl will like this movie. they like movies like the princess diaries or cheaper by the dozen. okay me and a bunch of my friends rented this movie. some of them thought it was a 7/10 and i think the same thing.im not saying its the best movie ever because its not, but i enjoyed it. I like racecar movies and its mainly about racing and getting revenge.I really liked the fact that Natasha screwed Micheal over and i love eddie griffen and i liked her racing. she kicked butt. So that is why i like this movie.
shareWell, aside from the crappy acting and the laughable plotline, here are a few things that were particuarly stupid in this "film":
1) Iraq war veterans do not automatically know karate or kung fu or whatever the hell that guy was doing. The writers never thought to explain where he learned how to fight like that, and it made whenever he got in a fight ridiculously idiotic.
2) The scene in which the guy's brother dies. After his car blows up or whatever happened, the guy runs out and drops to his knees screaming and the shot goes into slow motion. SLOW MOTION. What, was the guy dodging bullets on a rooftop?
3) The whole things about infiltrating that uncle guy's mansion. Since when you have to wear a ninja costume and buy a bunch of guns to get into a house? Why the *beep* didn't he just walk in the front door, tell his uncle that he apoligizes or whatever, and then sneak whatsherface out of the house? I'll tell you why: because the stupid writers and makers of this film wanted to put an out of place secret agent scene in a racecar flick.
These are only a few of the problems with this movie, but I don't have time to go into any more detail. The only good thing that came of this is that now we can use it as an example of WHAT THE FU CK NOT TO DO WHEN YOU MAKE A MOVIE.

Yes, we get it. The movie was bad. Not as bad as Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town but B movies have their place. where else are you going to see that many high dollar cars thrashed out. And basically, the movie was just car porn for 99.9% of us who will never see one a McLaren or Lambo or Enzo outside of a magazine.
shareYou actually bring up a good point. This movie was all car porn; hot girls and fast cars. No plot, no acting, not writing, no emotion, just hot girls and cool cars.
Maybe a good movie for a 43 year old pervert to watch in his darkened apartment with his pants off, but for the rest of us it is just, again, what not to do when making a movie.

RELAX idc anymore.
share1. We don't like this movie because..
It all comes down to the writing and direction. If a movie has a bad script it ruins two parts of the movie, the acting and the plot. This is where the movie just falls flat, the acting was terrible and the plot... well if you think about it, there is no plot, it just has hot actors half naked and racing scenes. Now the Fast and the Furious did the same thing but at least it had a good script. Now directing, it is a director's job to make sure the movie looks good (camera angles and the acting). If the director sees bad acting he would change it immediatley. During the movie you can already see bad dialouge which means it has lazy directing. Oh and the racing scenes are terrible.
That's why I didn't like the movie
2. You know this where you're right. I mean here we are trying to prove you wrong when it is really up to you. If you like the movie don't let us change your mind an opinion is an opinion
thank you very much i respect that and you are right about somethings like the directer could have done better at explaining some of the things
shareLook on the bright side guys! If this movie wasn't so horrible, I would've never got such a kick out of your comments!
This is the most laughs I've had all day, considering I just got done watching the worst movie of all time. I always thought meet the spartans was bad, but this one, this one takes the cake. I'm usually pretty nice to movies, like I kinda liked Doom.
But yeah, you guys are right, I was balling when that one dude started "crying" when his brother died hahahahaha. I may just watch that part again. I died laughing it was so hilarious, and yeah, wtf was up with the slow motion?? You guys should check out the goofs too. Most of them are so easy to tell
Please don't make such broad brush generalizations about 14 year olds. :)
When I was 14 my favorite movies were Blade Runner, Clockwork Orange, Godfather 2, and The Sting.
Not everybody had it wrong at that age.
Now these days, it's a much different story, more than likely, but I'd still like to think there are exceptions to the rule.

Look, no one on this forum has to explain why this movie is terrible because any self respecting person who has seen this would rather go blind than have to watch it again. Its lacking every element of a good movie. EVERY! No, no, don't reply, your wasting your time. Its terrible.
shareWhoa !
Aren't you guys such wusses !
I mean you don't like a movie,so okay we get it ! You don't have to get your panties in a knot & run around rooftops shouting yourselves hoarse !
I mean if someone wants to watch a particular movie,they will eventually,irrespective of whatever you say !
So go do something 'constructive' with your time like watching Citizen Kane for the 20th time or whatever !
Awesome buddy. however, did you notice that this is a message board, and some of us have seen the movie. It doesn't say "message board for those who liked it!", its a message board. hence, many of us who did actually put the time to watch this worthless movie felt the need to tell people whoa re interested to save their time or money for a dvd. This movie is a piece of crap straight to dvd movie that somehow got film screening.
Also, we watched the movie, so we may had some interest in it but in the end was horrible.
So just...ignore them?
That was so funny i forgot to laugh....due to short term memory loss.
dude lets clear some things up before i continue...this movie sucks in acting, directing, and plot BUT, if you're a big car enthusiast as i am it's very entertaining...the film could have absolutely no dialogue and i'd like it just because of the cars lol...stop being so critical, this girl you're arguing with has been creating posts about this movie and arguing stupid points...
as a movie it will never ever be good...but as a car video it kicks ass...just depends on what you're looking for
You know what, I give up. If you truly found this movie to be well directed, well acted, with good plot and character development, then you really have no concept or clue about those three things.
You simply lack the basic understanding of anything complex or anything that is deeper than a dry riverbed.
Movies like this are for people who either have terminal ADD or don't like to think beyond the most simple of concepts.
I hate it because it could have been better than the worst car movie ever. It's not good in any respect.
shareThis movie was so bad I can't even finish watching it just to laugh at it.
Focker, out.
This is a bad car movie even by a car movie's standard. The plot is so horrible it feels like a made-for-tv low budget movie. The acting is so, horribly terrible that I laughed when Carlo was screaming after witnessing his brother's unfortunate death. The various pieces of what's supposed to be the plot line are so amateurish that it feels like the writer just glue these plot elements together. Terrible, terrible movie. I have never given a movie a 4/10 ever in my life, and I've seen Plan 9 and Doom. This movie, though, totally deserves the given score and perhaps even less.
shareYou gave it a 4 out of 10? the only reason I gave it a "1" was because the numbers didn't go any lower!
Beyond bad. This movie sucks!
this movie is aswsome because of the cars, yes, the production and plot, and everything sucks, but the whole point of this movie are the cars, just some bad a$s cars racing; oh and there's some hot girls...i guess you have to like cars a lot to appreciate it, so i understand it's not for everyone...as a movie, it sucks, as a fun advertisment for all the cars in the movie, it's bad a$s
shareThen watch car ads, retard
shareSo, i was watching the last 30 of bowfinger(which was a funnier concept than movie) and then Redline came on.
And it started off sort of bad. And then it got worse. It was so bad, that i couldn't remember the name of the movie bowfinger and i had to look it up because Redline made me dumber. Its like an awful fast and the furious, with a Iraq war veteran, obviously suffering PTSD, and blowing up houses. So who's idea was it to make the walking kung fu shell shock steroetype the love interest? The main character being an obligatory hot girl felt like they got sued by The Fast and the Furious for stealing their script so they replaced the main character with somebody the main character would have tried to sleep with.
Let us begin with its obvious biggest weakness. The entire script felt like a grab bag of cliches placed inside of a tank of manatees as some sort of idea ball. The manatees then placed random balls into tubes where they formed loose idea chains which were thrown together to form plot points for a script. For those of you who missed it this is an obvious reference to the southpark epidose where they claim the Family Guy non-sequitor jokes are written in just this way.
The main character is an incredible driver (any car movie). But her dad died in an accident so she cant race (fast and the furious). Her family member is somehow or other involved in illegal nonsense (Gone in 60 seconds). Theres a race in the desert and she has to win to do something or other (Fast and Furious) Oh right it has to do with her band "Moving Violation"....im not even commenting. Which of course is gonna make it big because some guy just heard them and thinks they're sweet (ummm....Josie and the Pussycats?). Blah blah cliche cliche. Desert Race. CLiche Cliche, giant mafia involvement, kidnapping, creepiest demonstration of love, somebodies brother dies...
Nothing in this film was even remotely original and yet somehow, despite every shot, every plot point, arguably ever line of dialog, being copy and pasted from somewhere else, they did every single part of it, worse than the original. It may be the single most overly commercialized, obviously written by committee, vapid thing ever laid to film.
it was just awful overused terrible plot point thrown together. Like, i used to think Battlefield earth was bad because it was insane, but at least it was new. Battlefield earth was like a sardine hot sauce honey ice cream. It was awful but they tried something new. Redline was like being served a Mcdonalds hamburger just before they close. All of the pieces for an utterly uninteresting event are there and it should just taste forgettable, but somehow, the lettuce is extra mushy, and tomato is extra watery, and the bun is tough and stale. It's not actually horrible, its just, after that many iterations on the same thing you have to wonder how they could screw something so simple up. And when you tell the chef your hamburger was obviously old and mis-prepared he makes you six more identically terrible burgers to be nice....also boobs.
"Guns and ammo. And C4, enough to blow up a house." He never used the guns, nor did he "blow up the house" just made the movie SO much worse. What a disappointment :( good thing i only watched it for free late at night and nothing better was on, but then again i do kind of like infomercials and those are better, lol

@ clearlyimdrunk -- this post - and especially the quote I pulled above - is hands down one of the funniest "reviews" or analogies I have ever seen on imdb -- and I am NOT being sarcastic whatsoever!
You are bloody hilarious!!
boobs, indeed!
The only good thing about this movie was the end credits.
"Michael, I'll kill yoooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You obviously have down syndrome, please don't ever speak again.
shareMaybe it's so bad that it's easy to come up with all of its faults.

But before I reveal all reasons I hated this film, enlighten the world on how it's such a fantastic film.
