Line of Duty

.... no concentration required! Very hammy script and acting, but hey, one for the scrapbook AE!

Totally unbelievable story-line and acting are combined with fast-paced action and lots of setup scenes. The act that you can guess what is coming next is probably what keeps you watching. Most of the storytelling is delivered with tongue in cheek humor while people are dying right left and center. The baddies are super smart, the good guys and authorities totally inept except the heroes and the result is Hallmark. Puts the movie in the middle of the line, not great, not bad, interesting use of the power of social media. I've seen a lot worse.

Stopped watching once they introduced the pretentious dumb fake reporter girls...

Just amazed how stupid the girl is.... Bad effects, bad acting, just not believable at all. Aaron is a good action actor but this was really a big lost of time...

Aaron Eckhart is great to watch, but he couldn't save this one from major cringe factors. The two female internet reporters are so clichéd and every single line they uttered made me cringe to the max. They really added nothing to the plot, nor did the entire media narrative element of this story. What's the takeaway? The media are terrible? Or great? Or all women reporters are...? I honestly don't know what the point of it all was. Even the big bad network anchor-another disappointing female character-made me roll my eyes every second she was onscreen because she and everything around her were just so unbelievable. I suspect the executive producers had a hand in injecting some female characters in what might have otherwise been an entertaining action flick; they ruined it. Aaron Eckhart is the one who got the short end of the stick on this. I hope he got paid well.
