On the Line

I read the bad reviews before checking it out and they all had one thing in common. Each one bashed Mel Gibson and not the actual movie. If you hate him that much why even watch his movie?? I mean, you do realize he got top billing before deciding to sit through this right??

Anyhow. I didn't fall for the hokey, cancel culture, I don't like this guy so everything is bad now crap. The trailer looked interesting and I actually saw the original movie this is based on. I liked that movie so why not the American remake?

While the movie isn't perfect, it's not bad either. In fact, for a movie not shown in American cinemas and more of a VOD release, it's better than some so called thrillers that have gotten theatrical releases. The "twist" everyone in prior reviews gripes about is either hit or miss.

Kevin Dillon does a decent supporting role in a not too shabby thriller. Mel Gibson still has it as a leading man who can pull off action thrillers. I'd say maybe sharper editing and 10 min knocked the running time to get rid of the slow parts, this would be a perfect 95 min movie.
