Leave your thoughts about Line of Duty.
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFortunately, the new actioner directed by the prolific Steven C. Miller (First Kill, Arsenal, Marauders) proves fast-paced enough to overcome its more ludicrous plot elements. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThere’s scarcely a minute of the amped-up action movie Line of Duty that isn’t absolutely ridiculous … and scarcely a minute that isn’t mindlessly entertaining. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawIt’s amiable, but the real action thrills and the chemistry between the leads isn’t there. |
| The Observer (UK)Simran HansThe tone veers haphazardly from tense, high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase to ill-judged satire. |
| User ReviewMauro_Lanari(Mauro Lanari) B movie with tawdry errors but that is seen with smoothness. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001The most hilarious thing about this film is the fact that it has an approach that seems to take itself too seriously, because in its first few minutes that seems to be the route it's going to take, but then it ends up taking a course that is not only unintentionally comical, but it also feels unbelievably stupid. I simply couldn't take anything that was unfolding on screen seriously. I've often given Aaron Eckhart the benefit of the doubt, but there's no defending this. |
