Out of Line

I loved this film! A conditional agent (Jeniffer Beals) become involved with ex-convict (Holt McCallany) that is trying to change his life to better in a not very common way. In fact, Holt McCallany is fantastic in this film! In an only film he got to be comic, dramatic, cruel, good, romantic, hero and villain. A wonderful performance! Excellent performances also to: Michael Moriarty, Christopher Judge and William B. Davis.

Catching this film was like Discovering the movie "Sideways". It comes out of no where with actors you've never seen before but makes a nice big impression. It's a great little film with good acting, compelling scenes, and complicated relationships that resolve nicely. What more do you want? It has a believable plot about a parole officer and her criminally experienced and sexually charged client who chips away at her ability to maintain that all important border between her and her client, which ultimately collapses and if discovered threatens her emotionally, occupationally and physically. Not only is her career and safety at stake but her emotional well being is being challenged as well. The relationship that develops between her and the parolee is palatable. The danger that looms though between her and her police colleagues is yet another sub plot that is just as volatile. I generally watch three movies at a time and this is the one I kept coming back to. For a low budget production, I thought it was as optimized as it could be.

in my opinion christopher judge who plays alfonso in this movie and teal'c on stargate sg1 is one of the most underated actors of all time. This guy should be a main player on major hollywood blockbusters if his talent is anything to go by! once stargate sg1 finishes i expect chris to go onto bigger and better things what a fantastic actor! the movie in itself is ok but chris should take a step up where he belongs i think chris if he realised his ambition could be the next arnold schwarzenegger or denzel washington.
