A gorgeous young woman, who is an automobile fanatic and front to the hottest unsigned band on the West Coast of the USA, finds herself caught up in illegal drag-racing competitions organized by exotic car fanatics.

I have memories of watching Redline, I thought I had already reviewed it for The Movie Boards. After looking through my files it looks like I haven’t. For the record, the memories of originally watching Redline weren’t pleasant. So to answer the question I was asked while watching this, ‘why did I decide to revisit Redline?’ I’m pretty sure that it was a form of cinematic masochism.Reading about producer Daniel Sadek and how the movie was funded by subprime loans issued by Sadek’s company, Quick Loan Funding, which closed its doors in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis giving the movie a sour reputation.Sadek at number 86 in Vanity Fair “100 to Blame” for the economic crisis. Sadek also used his own automobile collection in the film. Those poor poor Supercars. Even with what happened to the cars there was a lot of questionable effects used throughout the movie that are almost on the level of something that you would expect from a movie released by The Asylum. I don’t remember realising this the first time watching Redline, this time round but I realised that visually Nadia Bjorlin who portrayed Natasha Martin came across as a knock-off Tiffani Thiessen. From what I’ve seen of Eddie Griffin’s work he didn’t see to be acting. The only decent moment delivered by any of the actors was from Angus Macfadyen delivering the final moments of Michael D’Orazio.
