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

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

unwatchable drivel - In the Line of Duty review by KH
This film was just awful. Totally ridiculous plot. Two dimensional characters that it is impossible to have any investment in. All the predictable woke PC boxes ticked. Hollywood tripe.
