Customer Reviews
Wildly maligned!
Sorry, this is an extremely imaginative film with at-times stunning visuals and a fun plot. The director is Eastern European and it shows--he cribs American film style like a master but mixes it only as an ex-Commie could. Hauer is, as always, solidly entertaining, the villain is villainous, and the depiction of the future decadent Russian society probably more dead-on than anyone would care to admit. There's a lot of sexy nudity in this and it's not gratuitous, it's just decadent. Don't let this film sink because a few killjoys don't find what they like in it!
Come on Morons!!
I'd usually only rate this movie with 3 stars but as a load of thickos (probably big-budget Hollywood cgi fans) have slated it, I am giving it 5 stars.
The plot is fairly original and the setting of the film in a futuristic and decadent Russia is both interesting and clever. I'm not going to describe what happens in the movie - so go watch it!! That is unless you are a moron....if that's the case, go watch 'Hulk' or something.
A Fascinating Vision of the Future
Besides providing an entertaining vision of future Russia,Redline incorporates an enjoyable tale of one man's quest for revenge.If you like Blade Runner,Red Heat or even have a remote interest in Russia and SCI-FI ,then this movie will NOT dissapoint.I have been to Vladivostok,collect Soviet militaria and esoterica,and think that the director really captured the flavor of Russia in this film.The Hind helicopter shots in the beginning are enough reason to buy this film!This movie is HIGHLY underrated and definitely a sleeper.
