Red Line (2013)
4/10
Started off great, and ended weak.

Yeah, it's one of those movies that kinda exploits 9/11.

It starts off pretty cool. I like the opening shot which I feel does a good job of introducing the main characters and telling us what type of people we are dealing with without saying anything. Then again, the characters never really grow out of this intro, making them one dimensional.

Then boom, the train comes to a halt pretty devastatingly. That could have been more terrifying if not for the CGI being a little over zealous, but the destruction was kind of cool.

Then boom, the signs of a terrorist attack turns whitey into complete bigots automatically pointing to the brown skin kid who of course was not who they assume he was.

Seen it done before and done better. At first it seem like this "misunderstanding" was going to be a small part of the movie and it really should have been, but it does not feel like it.

There was some pretty good acting by some of the cast, or maybe not good acting, just people who I really like watching on the screen, but not enough to make it a good flick.
