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

Redline is a direct-to-knucklehead release that refuses to bow out gracefully.

Redline is the kind of movie where they spent so much on the fast cars they forgot to save any for acting lessons or screenplay rewrites.

While the production was clearly expensive, and there is a splash of dazzle in the glossy visuals, the project stands as a monument to waste and extravagance.

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.

You could watch it with the sound off and the plot wouldn't make any less sense than it does with it on.

It's your typical studio vehicle so to speak, about the illegal world of underground racing with hot women, no brains, and a paper thin plot that's basically non-existent or relevant to the events on screen.

Looks like a music-video without the music--sleek visuals, lots of things moving around the screen, girls posing, and guys dressed like it's the 1980s. Steer clear.

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

The whole thing is pretty stupid, but Angus Macfadyen is watchable as the villain.

The movie would play almost as a postmodern parody of 1960s drive-in fare if it weren't put forward with such a silly straight face.

The makers of this self-indulgent autopalooza take a Ferrari engine, Porsche speed, Mercedes horsepower, and a Shelby Mustang chassis and somehow combine them into a Yugo.

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.

Well...at least you can look at the cars.

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

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.

This is one of those movies in which virtually no one comes out unscathed.

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.
