Almost avoided this one due to the overwhelming low reviews glad I diddn't listen. It isn't perfect film definitely has some issues but overall its decent watch.
First the movie is definitely not an action film and I'm not sure why its categorized on few things as such. It isn't even thriller either which its second categorization and I think thats what the major disconnect is here with people panning it. The film is really a slow burn drama. It has some engaging/dramatic scenes here and there but for most part its more of showing the lifes of linesmen and what they go through. My brother is a linesmen and while he says everything in film isn't 100% accurate, they did good job dramatizing things. And at least brought there profession into light in which most films revolve around firemen and cops.
The film had good cast who I thought did well with source material. Although I did find an almost mid 30 year old Kate Bosworth playing a young adult a little of odd. The film does get draggy quite bit but thats because it saves everything for last 25 mins which were intense and emotional as well.
Overall its good way to kill some time on weekend and while it might not be best movie its definitely decent watch.
