vchimpanzee Tori is on the phone with her father and they are not getting along. So she is pretty upset already when she gets on the subway. At some point we learn about others who are getting on the subway too, or at least we think we do. Some of these people might not be telling the truth. But here is what we think we know. Adam proposes to Rubina and is giving her a ring, but they are Muslim and a ring is not a part of their tradition. Boyd is an actor. Mason is a veteran of Iraq. Al is an engineering student of Brazilian heritage. Sam is a history teacher who is married to Kathy. Yolanda is a medical professional of some kind who can't speak much English. And Jared and Kristine have a young daughter Dillon.Something terrible happens and people die. At first I thought there was a shooter but it later becomes clear there must have been an explosion. Apparently the train car is on its side and there's no easy way out. There is no one in charge and these ordinary people have to find the solutions to their problems. Some are hurt enough that they might die. Tori calms down and copes quite well. Jared thinks Kristine (who stays remarkably calm considering everything) is worse off than Adam and insists Kristine be helped first. Whatever is wrong with Kristine, something is always blurry. I saw this happen in another movie where someone was so seriously injured she died. The important thing is Kristine is trapped. So is Sam, but he isn't hurt, as long as he can be freed. Kathy is dead and so is a police officer.Eventually, everyone who is able to help can get involved. Yolanda, as the only one who seems to have medical training, does what she can, and Kristine can translate for her, but help is needed from outside and the group needs a way to escape. So there is a lot of work to do, and risks must be taken.And then someone discovers a second bomb. Worse yet, what if one of the group set off the first bomb and is ready to kill more people? What if the terrorist actually intends to commit suicide and does not have a way out? The group must deal with many moral dilemmas. Should they figure out who did the deed and keep that person from killing again? How much should they do to this person? And what if more than one of them might be involved? This movie keeps things exciting and I was on the edge of my seat a lot. The acting performances are good, particularly that of the person playing the terrorist. The excitement of solving the mystery and the urgency of preventing more deaths make this quite entertaining. And of course there are the moral dilemmas. Even young Dillon does something quite surprising.I think it's worth seeing.

doug_park2001 A bomb goes off in an LA subway, and the survivors try to keep it together, care for the injured, and find a way out, all the while wondering who, if any, amongst them is the terrorist.For a very low budget film that some college students and faculty made as a project--something I didn't realize until after I'd seen it--REDLINE is quite good. All the same, the acting by just about everyone is dry-tepid, and most of the lines sound read rather than said. Plot-wise, it pretty much follows the formula, with the sort of twists that are meant to be surprising but are well-trodden to the point of being quite predictable. Who/who doesn't survive is another predictable factor.The notes at the beginning of the film cite some statistics about domestic terrorism that seem to promise the film will have a broader scope than it actually does. Partly by necessity, I suppose, the view is quite limited and claustrophobic. Some brief shots of the outside world--rescue efforts, news flashes, etc--during the course of the film would have been a big plus, but I can see how they didn't have the resources for that. More solid clues as to the motivations of the culprit would also have helped.Oh, well. REDLINE is a decent thriller if you like this sort of thing and aren't too demanding.

Super D Duper At first I thought this was an asylum flick. It has all the earmarks of a low budget B movie. Including: prawn star reject acting skills, extremely low budget film set encompassing all of a 20 square foot room space in the whole of the film, no special effects whatsoever, horrible writing, totally predicable plot line, and more epic bad acting. I cannot provide any spoiler, as there is nothing to spoil - the entire movie itself is a spoiler. How the hell did this film have a 25 million budget? it looks like they spent about $10 renting out an abandoned warehouse,took their costumes from donation bins, and paid for the cheapest prawn star reject level actors they could find. I feel sorry for the investors of this film, their money was clearly stolen. No wonder it only made $8 million in the box office, I would've been (expletive deleted) if i'd paid to watch this. I am still (expletive deleted) however for allowing this half- witted movie to consume precious time spent watching a crappy asylum flick(like snakes on a train), which undoubtedly would have far higher entertainment appeal. In fact I have the distinct feeling an asylum cover of this film (presumably entitled "reddish line"), would be far more entertaining.

11Lazygamer11 . If you have watched Open Water 2: Adrift. This is the train version, but funnier. It was classed as a thriller but the most thrilling thing was the little girls name, Dillon. Unintentional comedy was it's best point like the fact that as soon as the train crashed they knew each others names and classic lines like "are you OK" even though a train has just crashed. The death of the person playing the "hero" has me crying in laughter, were he crawled down the side of the train and a rock fell on his head and killed him instantly and no one seemed to care and if they did they didn't show it very well and the lack of background music just made it worse. The woman impaled to the wall had the best part as she just sat down for an hour and half.
