Redline: A cult classic with exceptional touch

First things first, Redline is a piece of art directed by Takeshi Koike, backed by the Madhouse Studio. The movie is available to stream on Prime Video and Apple TV, along with having a runtime of 102 minutes. As for the plot, the movie is based on 'Sweet' JP, who is a driver carrying a style statement like no one can (his pompadour hairstyle actually grabs eyeballs). Apart from the looks, he also has a habit of waving a Hi to death every time he drives a car.

Finally, he enters the Redline, which is dubbed the most popular and dangerous race of the galaxy. The said race takes place in Roboworld, a planet that is a strong opponent of the race. Here, JP meets new drivers who are more insane than he is, and he has only one job: to beat them all in the race.

The movie is a rare entry in the arena with 100% hand-drawn animations. Talking about the reviews, the film was welcomed by the critics as a more than decent offering. Now, if you are someone who is a fan of racing as a genre and looking for something that has cult status, Redline should be at the top of your watchlist.
