"Dude, you seriously need to switch to decaf."
The normally decent Aaron Eckhart stars in this absolute turkey of a cop thriller. Not to be confused with the ace BBC series, the premise sees Eckhart's disgraced cop (yawn), chasing down a colleague's kidnapped daughter in real time. In a ridiculous turn of events, he's accompanied by a millennial reporter who's streaming their entire adventure online...Totally laughable, badly timed 'comic' relief,a naff score, craptastic villain, and it's best described as End Of Watch meets My Spy - but only if you remove every element that made both of those decent films.
Elkhart seems embarrassed to be there, and Courtney Eaton, who plays the 'would be' reporter is beyond wooden. Breaking Bad's…
Aaron Eckhart is one of those actors who's never really moved up the ladder towards the A-List. He's been in some great movies over the years, mostly playing supporting roles, many of them really memorable, whether as Julia Roberts' biker boyfriend in Erin Brockovich or as Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight, he normally delivers solid un-showy performances. When it comes to trying to carry a whole film by himself however, his batting average drops considerably, and this frenetic thriller from director Steven C Miller is not one most will remember with any fondness.
Eckhart portrays a disgraced cop who is inadvertently given a shot at redemption when the kidnapper of the Police Chief's daughter strays into his path during…
I thought I had listened to an interview with Aaron Eckhart where he spoke in earnest about the level of detail and authenticity this film strives for when depicting the day to day workings of the police force.
So when Eckhart's beat cop Frank Perry accidentally shoots the only suspect who knows where a missing girl is, (who incidentally is trapped in a perspex box slowly filling up with water) and goes rogue with a teenage live streamer in tow, as they fly about the city stealing cars, cracking jokes, hanging off a helicopter after blowing up a booby trapped house, I thought hmm... Maybe this isn't the film I thought it was.
Turns out I confuse Aaron Eckhart with…
A trashterpiece shot in my city, which features:
* 3rd Ave. N. between 18th St and 23rd St shot from EVERY CONCEIVABLE ANGLE in any number of the movie's endless car chases
* a farmers' market on Morris Avenue, which would be pretty cool to have in real life
* my building in the background of at least one shot
* an electric car flipping several times, tapping another car and causing a massive explosion
* a heroic cat
* a little girl trapped in a slowly flooding tank ripped straight from the Saw franchise
* a climactic scene in which multiple characters dangle from a helicopter
* a massive shootout set at an intersection i drive through multiple times…
aka 64 MINUTES
Was ist denn mit Regisseur Miller los? Bisher haben mich seine Filme immer geärgert. Nicht weil sie schlecht waren, sondern weil sie immer nach Potential schrien, er es aber selten nutzte. Optisch immer schick, keine Frage, aber von der Dynamik her meist einfach wirr. Gut, wenn man mit Bruce Willis als Zugpferd arbeiten muss ist das wohl immer ein Drahtseilakt.
Trailer guck ich nie und Regisseur ist nicht meins, also eher gediegene Vorfreude. Es freut mich richtig sagen zu können, dass Line of Duty qualitativ Quantensprünge zu seinen bisherigen Werken darstellt.
Von Anfang an haut der ein Tempo raus, welches man eher von CRANK gewohnt ist. Respekt vor Eckkard, dass der sich noch so rumscheuchen lässt. Die…
I don't believe anything that is happening in this movie... but it's too late to stop it now.

I'm actually surprised, with this plot and this poster, I was almost certain it would be terrible, and I was wrong! It's actually fun. Despite of some moments that just don't work, it's actually a ride that I gladly took.
Als rasanter Actiontthriller überraschend überzeugender Fast-Echtzeit-Thriller in dem nun auch Aaron Eckhardt mal seine Lauf-, Schieß- und Kampffähigkeiten abendfüllend und ohne viel Luftholen zur Schau stellen darf.
Überraschend auch deshalb, das Steven C. Miller sich offenbar aus den Klauen von "Oasis Films" befreien konnte und seiner, nennen wir es künstlerischen Vision mehr Platz zur Entfaltung bieten durfte. Während er da immer um die wenigen Drehtage mit seinen Stars Bruce Willis ("Marauders") und Sylvester Stallone ("Escape Plan 2") drum herum musste, ist Aaron Eckhardt vor allem physisch vollkommen anwesend. Sein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit um ein verstecktes und dem Tode entgegen sehenden kleinen Mädchens ist rasant wie vorhersehbar und klischeehaft. Das Team-Up mit einer alles in eine Person packenden "Alternative Medien-Influencerin"…
Tonally off and weirdly optimistic/naive, but Miller knows how to get a lot of bang for his buck and delivers a movie that rarely stops moving.
