The New York TimesAndy Webster
This film is about surfaces, for young men with testosterone to burn, and the racing passages snap. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyJim Ridley
The cars and stunt work are real, and so is the rather endearing retro cheesiness. This is the movie that really belongs with Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof." Read full review

VarietyTodd McCarthy
A demolition derby starring some of the most expensive cars on Earth, Redline portrays a world so drenched in wealth it gives off a stench. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
Redline is the cinematic equivalent of a sports car ad in Maxim magazine. Read full review

New York Daily NewsElizabeth Weitzman
If there's a lesson to be found in this shameless vanity project, it's that money can buy anything. Even a movie. Read full review

The A.V. ClubNathan Rabin
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. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJohn Anderson
Redline isn't exactly a car wreck, mainly because it's far less exciting, and you can, in fact, look away. Perhaps at your shoes. Read full review

Chicago ReaderJ.R. Jones

TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonagh
The lesson is that money can buy a vanity project, but it can't buy talent, imagination or an audience. Read full review

Boston GlobeJonathan Perry
An action flick loaded with cars, chrome, and silicone, is everything you'd expect it to be, and yet so much less: less character development, less believability, and most unforgivably, less escapist entertainment. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMarc Savlov
The movie feels mechanical all the way through, leaving Sadek's debut an inauspicious and ill-lubed affair. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Hartlaub
This movie is so horrible that it actually spends some time in "so bad it's good" territory, before getting significantly worse. Read full review
