Life on the Line (I) (2015)
3/10
Like Playing Jenga with Movie Clichés

Warning: Spoilers
If they missed a single clichés for drama movies then I probably missed that because I was fast-forwarding. This movie looks like an expensive teaching tool for a film school basic class on screen writing. The grizzled old veteran and the young punk trying to make a name for himself are just two of the tired, over-done themes dealt with on screen. There are dozens more so be prepared for the worst.

It got so bad that at one point I lost track of which John Travolta direct-to-DVD movie I was watching. The terrible thing is that I actually like him as an actor but he makes such stupid movies these days. Does he have an agent? Does he have a pile of gambling debts that require him to take every piece-or-crap role offered to him?

If you are looking for even a moment of originality then this just isn't the film for you.
