Movie Info

Redline is a racing film created by studio Madhouse (Paprika, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars). Redline is about the biggest and most deadly racing tournament in the universe. Only held once every five years, everyone wants to stake their claim to fame, including JP, a reckless dare-devil driver oblivious to speed limits with his ultra-customized car - all the while, organized crime and militaristic governments want to leverage the race to their own ends. Amongst the other elite rival drivers in the tournament, JP falls for the alluring Sonoshee - but will she prove his undoing, or can a high speed romance survive a mass destruction race? -- (C) Anchor Bay

The characters are dead on arrival and the techno soundtrack during the action sequences made us want to flee their funeral.

One of the most visually spectacular toons in recent years.

If you're looking for something calm and measured this film is not for you. It makes Pokemon look like a Sofia Coppola film.

Redline is honestly one of the greatest animated movies of all time and it's something that anyone, anime fan or not, can enjoy.

Their story is also old-school - and not always in a good way.

Mark Schilling
Japan Times
Redline doesn't boast much of a high-art story or clever dialogue, but the animation, stylistics and tone are art and visual stimuli at their very best.

JP:	Someone's having doubts, huh? Hell, I was just trying to keep this thing interesting. You're just a voice, pal! You don't know a damn thing about racing!
