Will irritate your socks off - In the Line of Duty review by Alphaville

Spoiler Alert
27/08/2020

The first quarter-hour features one of the best foot chases you’ve ever seen, with a resourceful kidnapper pursued by cop Aaron Eckhart. After that the film plummets to the gutter with misguided attempts at humour that make all ensuing attempts at action laughable for the wrong reasons. Worst of all, Aaron gets saddled with one of those hyper-irritating idiot teen girls who tend to pop up in films such as this. Usually it’s a daughter in trouble, but here it’s a social media nerd who live-streams everything and goes Whoo at appropriate points. Pity the killer can’t seem to shoot straight when she’s around. When the film ends with happy-clapping and cheering, the film’s decline into absurdity is complete. Such a shame after such a brilliant opening sequence.

Frenetic action, poor story - In the Line of Duty review by AB

Spoiler Alert
26/05/2020

The action is frenetic, much of it filmed on a hand-held camera. I felt a bit seasick eventually. Poor Aaron Eckhart, playing the cop, must have run a marathon by the end of the movie. The problem is that there are so many glaring plot-holes and inconsistencies that by the end I just had to shake my head and laugh in disbelief. Would a cop really put a young woman in harm's way by allowing her to live-film him while he fights a dangerous killer?

Tongue in Cheek Action Movie - In the Line of Duty review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
28/04/2020

perfect for a wet day during the COVID19 shut down, the action flows at a regular pace, the story line basis is sound how they get to end stretches credulity to a point but the good guys win and all that!
