That was an excellent one.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Don't listen to the negative reviews

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Hey, I was over on Amazon.ca a few days ago, and I saw that 'Redline' was recommended for me. The cover looked interesting so I went over to YouTube and looked up the trailer. A few days passed, and I bought it. After finishing the film I have only one question.Why didn't I order this earlier?The story is decent (it's a race on a robot planet where the robots don't want them there.) All the characters have an AMAZING amount of character depth, personality and back story (yes, I know that's what depth is.) The animation is some of the best you will ever see coming from Japan, the acting is pretty good. Some of the actors didn't do perfect but since this gets so intense at times, it's unlikely you could act with the level of intensity needed. And the music is great! Oh, and did I mention there's a lot of toilet humor? At least in the English dub their is. Over all this is a fantastic film. I highly recommend buying it on Blu-ray.

Redline is one of those movies that is absolutely popping with adolescent joy, from the sleekly-animated racing sequences to the ridiculous bravado of the characters. It's a bold debut for director Takeshi Koike, and what really amazes is that it manages to be an epic story that at the same time seems to be only a sliver of a crazy and exciting universe. You get the feeling that any of the other racers, some of whom only get a sliver of screen time, could easily support their own movie, and that kind of overflowing exuberance is hard not to buy into. The only other media that comes to mind as capturing this sensation is the anime series Giant Robo, which seems like a clear precedent here.Plot-wise, there isn't much going on, with the story a serviceable vehicle to get from one action sequence to another. It does, however, manage to use common tropes in a way that feels mythic and not derivative. Redline really only does one thing -- epic action -- and those looking for anything else will probably be disappointed. But man, does it succeed on that front.This review would be incomplete without mentioning the amazing music, an eclectic group of tunes that completes the adrenaline rush. Hell, every character gets their own theme song. How cool is that? (My favourite is Machine Head's.) And, in the end, that's what Redline ultimately wants to leave you thinking: "How cool is that?"

Over-the-top action is taken to a whole new level in the anime film "Redline" but unfortunately that's not a compliment. "Sweet" JP (Takuya Kimura) is a fiercely determined driver who has just lost his chance of getting into a deadly racing competition known as "Redline." Though when two of the drivers decide to drop out, JP gets his chance to finally compete. This is ultimately how paper thin the storyline actually gets. Everything about this movie moves a mile a minute and does not seem to care about fleshing anything out (which ends up hurting the film when they throw a love interest into the mesh). The animation style, while starting off interesting, gets stale fast and by the end almost feels more like an elaborate motion comic. The majority of the action takes place in the second half of the movie and much like the rest of the movie comes and goes so quickly for anyone to actually feel completely involved. Some anime enthusiasts might enjoy "Redline" for the unique animation style and occasional quirks but for everyone else it's another potentially fun film that crashed and burned.

Redline is an anime movie directed by Takeshi Koike and written by Katsuhito Ishii. Originally Redline is a spin off anime of Trava: Fist Planet (2003) and although the characters from Trava: Fist Planet are in it briefly, this is a story that conceptually was developed from Trava: Fist Planet into a full length movie.Redline itself is a story about a race driver JP who is in driving under influence of some Yakuza/Mafia types. Although, JP is an excellent and exciting driver he just does what he's told. When he finds out he qualified for The Redline competition he's up and about and this time ready to race the way he wants no matter the consequences. However, the Redline race is unlike any other race and is hosted in a hostile war-like environment that can get you killed just for participating. Prior to the Redline race JP meets female driver Sonoshee. Though they do hit it off right away, they slowly come to realize they have met before.Redline takes you on an exciting ride that is visually stunning filled with hilarious animated characters. In the whole movie there is just one scene with some brief nudity but nothing that is shown in a sexual or perverted context. Personally, I would have liked them to have followed Trava's quest and competition in the Fist Planet Competition and maybe once again have a run in with Princess Mikuru, or even just have seen more of them in Redline which you do not see a whole lot of. Still Redline in itself is a cool anime movie and stands out by itself.You do not have to see Trava: Fist Planet before watching Redline, but it wouldn't hurt to see it. I do recommend Trava: Fist Planet if you're into funny action packed anime with some nice trippy undertones and cool looking visuals. Redline is awesome! Check it out!
