Redline the movie full#
Look - The story is flimsy as hell, and director Tibor (something or other) seems to realise this, and therefore fills the film full of nudity and gore. Anyhoo - Rutger hooks up with a hooker (Yvonne Scio) who also played his missus at the start (err.not sure why) and tries to track down Machis.However, it turns out that Machis is only the icing on the cake when it comes to Russian crime syndicates. Either way, the set design in this film is something to behold. Rutger sets out to kill everything (which is endorsed by the folks who revived him for reasons I couldn't quite understand) and therefore travels through Moscow in a series of set pieces which convey to me that the film had a higher budget than I thought or else filming in Russian is very cheap. Obviously, when Rutger wakes up all he wants to do is shoot his partner in the head two or three hundred times. His missus, who betrayed him, also gets shot in the head but when the Russian army turn up they burn her and get right to reviving Rutger using some sophisticamated doo-whackies.
Anyhoo - Rutger is a smuggler smugling some biomechanical circuits when he's double crossed by his buddy Machis and shot in the head. I'm not really sure if any of that was explained but the plugging in aspect seemed to involve fulfilling your dreams via cable or something. This film is set in some futuristic Russia where people can plug themselves directly into things.
When I sit down to watch a film I'm not there to be mildly amused by the juxtaposition of social hierarchies or what have you - I want things to move briskly, blow up, be gory, be naked, be crazy and above all not be boring. Look - the situation is this: I've got two toddlers, a tired wife, an allotment and a full time job.
