Deathline (also known as Redline) is a 1997 science fiction, action film starring Rutger Hauer and Yvonne Sciò.[1] It was also released under the title Armageddon. A Canadian-Dutch-Hungarian co-production it was filmed mainly in Hungary.
Reception
Video Business characterized the film as "an extended chase-and-shoot piece set in a bizarre retro-Soviet Moscow of the near future", noting that it had a few full-frontal sex scenes.[1] Film critic Randy Myers called it "a diverting and entertaining bit of futuristic phooey" that was "cheap and tawdry" but "so gonzo and entertaining that you can't help but enjoy it".[2]
Plot
Wade, his girlfiend Marina, and Merrick smuggle bio-cyber microchips in from America to a decadent high tech Russia. On his last job, Wade is double-crossed and murdered by Merrick.
Realizing he might have some worth, Wade is resurrected by a secret Russian military organisation. He later escapes from a hospital and, helped by Katya who is a double of Marina, goes after Merrick.
However Merrick used the money he stole to buy himself powerful new friends. It also turns out that Merrick is just a pawn in a bigger game with a group that plans on taking Russia over.
