With almost perfect timing with the latest Fast and Furious movie,
Redline arrives on DVD that features fast cars, women and a healthy
amount of testosterone driven action. Of course some would say it's
a clichéd illegal street racing movie but I digress as it gives the
viewer the perfect if somewhat forgettable escapism for a few hours.
Starring the almost perfect
Nadia Bjorlin as "Nat" who is the penultimate tomboy, this foxy
street racer knows everything about fast cars from not only fixing
them but also racing them. Unfortunately for Nat, she is forcefully
dragged into the deadly world of illegal street racing and from
there sparks begin to fly. Guns, racing and action is what happens
next.
Apart from Bjorlin, the star of this movie
is the amazing action sequences that simply look stunning on our
high definition TV that is equally matched with the Dolby Digital
5.1 surround sound. At times, the stunts look almost "fake" through
the sharp images and vibrant colour palette that is truly a surreal
racing experience. Needless to say, although the acting is
stereotypical for a movie like this, the races are actually
exhilarating.
A
fun race from start to finish!
