Very disappointing...

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Frankly I must admit that I'm not a big anime fan and this was my first anime. But to my sweet surprise this is a very good and entertaining. This has everything that you can expect in a racing related movie. I was more astonished to find out that it took them 7 years and more than 100000 hand drawn pictures to complete this movie which only increased my appreciation for the movie.

This animation is a great combination of amazing, original art combined with a catchy soundtrack.There are many moments in this movie that would be great as a printed canvas and the abstract and surreal nature of the futuristic fantasy setting reminds somewhat of Heavy Metal and Star Wars's pod racing.It is a rock and roll love story that took me a re-watch to appreciate the talent and as a result I now see it as something way above average.Not the story but the drawings and direction make this a gem which is probably more enjoyable for adults than the youngsters who grave for less complexion.

But Redline is absolutely brilliant. It's an over-the-top, action packed movie with great characters that leaves you twitching with adrenaline.The animation, visuals, sound, and music really bring this movie together. Once it starts, it's a non-stop rush until the end. The characters are great and are developed as much as they need to be. As far as the plot goes, it's fairly simple, but the writing will keep you entranced.I've seen both the subbed and dubbed versions, and they're both great. I usually avoid dubbed foreign movies, but the English cast is actually pretty good here.P.S. Watch this movie in HD with surround sound.

This is definitely a top class anime flick! I won't lie and says it has a killer storyline - it's no Ghibli movie - but it is totally cool and it does have memorable characters even if they aren't fully fleshed out. It's like watching a 2 hr long episode of Cowboy bebop (style & adrenalin) meets Outlaw Star (comedy ). It is suave anime and it does it very well. Well worth 102 mins of your time - it's like a guilty pleasure. And the soundtrack is one of the best around, period! It's about "Sweet" JP, a small-time ex-con racer who competes mostly to help his mechanic buddy Frisbee pull off fixes for the mob he owes money to, but he finally gets a shot at the biggest race of them all - the illegal Redline. Also competing is his secret crush "Crab" Sonshee and she wants nothing more than to climb that winners' podium for her long-lost dad. It's a race where anything goes (and usually does) - add to that the authorities want to stop the race at all costs and what you get is the anime version of The Cannonball Run, with a lot of explosions, nitro, burning rubber and a cast of characters good and bad you'll not forget anytime soon!
