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

Reviews for Redline
Redline mostly feels like one long stunt intercut with the boring parts of a porn movie.
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.
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.
Redline continues the mind-boggling trend of films that choose to justify their existence by piling on layer after layer of meaningless excess.
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.
An idiotic action thriller, vanity project and testosterone-filled guilty pleasure whose sole purpose is to show off a fleet of million-dollar Ferraris and Lamborghinis belonging to fledgling movie mogul Daniel Sadek.
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 not so much a film as a cheesy garage calendar scantily-clad, over-made up "cheap" women as hood-ornaments.
Redline is a direct-to-knucklehead release that refuses to bow out gracefully.
Everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment.
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.
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.
