In the Red (1999)
Dymo, a respected man-about-town, is the charismatic gang leader. His headstrong, unpredictable lover, Carli, has a penchant for magnums and fur. This is a pair that believes if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Together they take on rival gang leader Jack Hand - and the local law enforcers, Blondine Dimaggio, a cop who has seen too much, and her partner Peter Dasha, whos police badge has an axe-like impact... in his own mind! It's the quick or the dead in a city where only the fast survive. The chosen form of transport is the new breed of turbo charged 2 litre all wheel drive technowiz rocket ships from the land of the rising sun. The gangs are taking over the streets in a high performance wizardry war-on-wheels that exists between those that were and the new nitrous injected generation - it's gonna be hell on wheels!

Best movie of this year hands down!
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
It's a pretty predicable, but has some unique elements. Common content resembling Fast & Furious without the slick style you get with American cinema.Criminals were blander than I'm use to.The relationship between the main protagonist and his ride or die chick was perfect. For all the Scarface wannabes out there, this chick was exactly who you want by your side.The car chases were pretty good, but My American eyes are use to more spectacular Carsploitation, by this point. Overall, It's definitely worth a look at on DVD.
i wasn't really thrilled with this one,, i thought that it was gonna sorta b like a cheap budget version of fast and the furious like urban gritty style.. well i was wrong not enough cars or women. mainly a main character who the police are after,, he does bad things leads them on chases and such, i just feel like that the cover of the video box ripped me off, i gotta stop buying movies based on the artwork cover thats on the darn box,, i mean the movie wasn't' the most horrible thing that i ever watched there's prolly bout 100 below this one on my list, i watched the whole thing just to give it an honest review, i guess i was expecting more out of this movie, but in retrospect i shouldn't have been expecting much being low budget,
This movie is absolutely awful... bad acted, bad directed, bad edited... really bad in every aspect.Avoid it at all costs... except if you wanna laugh for a while.
Possibly the worst 70 odd minutes of my life, im very in to the car scene and things of this nature and i can safely say this did not show anything good in cars, action, story, auto culture, acting, editing, directing and whatever else you can think of, even the opening credits are awful and the soundtrack is not even up to pornography of the 70's standards.Im sorry this is so harsh but it was painful to watch and im glad i didnt spend my money to see it.
