Overview

The most dangerous and exciting car race in the universe is held only once every five years. And that’s tonight. The competitors are lined up at the starting block. In his vehicle, JP, the most daredevil driver on the circuit, is ready for the green light. Female driver Sonoshee, with whom he is secretly in love, is also on the starting line. She will stop at nothing to get on to that podium. In this race, not only is anything possible, but also anything is allowed. In fact, their adversaries have modified their vehicles to equip them with highly destructive weapons; with such participants, it is hardly surprising that Redline is forbidden by the authorities, who will try anything to halt the proceedings.

Viewing Notes

FF2010 Day Seven: Film #5 - Routinely exhausted by the last slot I was glad that it was Takeshi Koike’s big screen color explosion Redline (2010). This is an anime feature about futuristic racers as they compete in the biggest race for all the glory. Heard a lot of great things about this going in but I gotta say that it wasn’t that impressive to me. Maybe because I’ve seen a lot of anime I didn’t think this was anything new or revolutionary. Plus I was tired as all hell. Maybe I’ll watch it again under better conditions.
