Redline (2007)

It's hard to say whether gleaming automobiles or women's bodies are given the more fetishlike treatment in this vanity production.

The cars in the film are treated with more respect than the women.

The movie Redline is all about surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn.

Redline isn't exactly a car wreck, mainly because it's far less exciting and you can, in fact, look away.

Everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment.

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.

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.
