Moderate to strong violence is pervasive. Characters are frequently shot with lasers and guns, resulting in explosions and blood sprays. Fistfights are common and impact-heavy, though often stylized within the exaggerated, high-energy animation aesthetic.

Frequent use of strong profanity, including 'f-bombs', 'shit', 'pussy', and 'cock' are interspersed throughout the dialogue.

Depictions of alcohol, tobacco, and cocaine use appear throughout the film as part of the gritty, underground setting.

Mature themes of corruption, political violence, and exploitation drive the narrative. The story features a heavy focus on illegal racing, government sabotage, and the literal life-or-death pressure placed on participants.

Redline runs 102 minutes, directed by Takeshi Koike, released in 2009.
