After watching the film I can't say I was impressed, I was not surprised to see in the film nude assassins and plastic looking BB guns. Odd styles of dressing mostly leather and plastic looking glasses.The locations were bizarre with some futuristic elements with a lot of old fashioned items like furniture and it appeared the actors only had 2 sets of clothes. I must also mention, I think they only used a total of 6 locations (I could be wrong but I could have sworn the same location was used other with some slight furniture rearrangements)The overall story was rubbish, after bringing in military style weapons and being back stabbed it was a mess of I WANT MY MONEY BACK, the end was just stupid.

Rutger Hauer always entertains regardless of budget and he again serves up another laid back performance in this unusual Sc-fi movie. Still wearing his now trademark long coat from 'The Hitcher', Hauer with the aid of the kung fu kicking Yvonne Scio, seeks revenge against his deceitful ex business partner. Filmed in Eastern Europe, it looks stunning, and there are plenty of unusual touches, such as tramps with kalashnikovs, a nude female assassin & a very amusing spoof of a 'real crime' TV show. Now available on bargain DVD, it's well worth a look

This movie has two pluses in its favor. First, Rutger Hauer looks great. Second, the sets and art direction are very interesting. The movie has a strange blend of Old World buildings, futuristic props and 1940's style furniture. Other movies (yes, most notably Blade Runner) have used a similar look more successfully, but the total effect was still compelling. I did get the impression, however, that they used the same building over and over and just changed the furniture when it was supposed to be a different location.Unfortunately, the filmmakers appear to have spent so much money on the set that they had no funds for other essential movie elements such as a script that made sense, costumes for the actresses and an acting coach. I found the plot utterly incomprehensible. I have no idea why any character in the movie did any of the things he/she did. I have no idea what the ending was supposed to mean.Equally baffling was the fact that the women in the movie wore no clothes. The film is set in Moscow; you'd think they would get cold. Okay, I can understand that prostitutes in brothels are not going to fully clad, but come on--topless women boxers? nude women assassins?Finally, with the exception of Hauer (who really has given some great performances in his career), no one in this movie can act. NO ONE!! Robbie the Robot gave better line readings.In short, if you're looking for a movie filled with meaningless violence and even more meaningless sex, you'll love this one.

Rutger Hauer has done a number of action films in which the story and overall production where much more entertaining e.g., "Split Second". However, I am an avid "Action" movie devotee and my personal appraisal of them is usually much higher than say, most movie critics. For what its worth, I think most action lovers would enjoy this film. I, however, never expected more than the action promised in the given film synopsis i.e., until I saw Miss Yvonne Scio. In my opinion, this young lady stole the movie in both an acting and physical sense. She has a wholesome beauty and a fantastic physical presence. I became a "Fan" immediately.Further, I was just as pleasantly surprised with Miss Scio's action performance as I was with Mira Sorvino's in the "Replacement Killers". 'course the critic (Maltin) only gave this movie 2.5 stars and I thought it deserved at least 4.5 stars. Hell, I guess I'm still the only one who thinks "The Matrix" was the best movie of the year and can't understand why I must be the only one with such keen insight. Oh well, I'm buying the DVD (USA) version titled "Redline", if for no other reason than to ogle Miss Scio.
