En la línea de fuego

5 minutes into this movie you ask yourself who bankrolled this and why. Halfway through and you just wonder which of the key players in the production or direction of this are on Warren buffett's Christmas card list lol. It's so bad you can't look away, like a dumpster fire. Everything was predictable and everything was executed atrociously. Still here I am 95 minutes later and I watched every minute. Gave it a three just to keep it at the current score because yeah it's terrible.

The storyline and script are just terrible. Zero originality, ineffective, basic dialogue. This meant the drama was weak throughout, no matter how much they tried to fix that with music.

The acting is overdramatic, awkward and downright bizarre in places potentially exposing shoddy directing. The kids were good, Patric and Gooding Jr obviously good - even Baio made his scenes work.

They kept referring to being a patriot without defining properly what that meant - I started to get my suspicions that this was subtle propaganda. Then after the film read up on David AR White - enough said. There is one thing to make Christian films for the genre, another to make it defaultism.

Even if you like the "God Bless America" gung ho type films, I doubt you'll get pumped up on this.

Bad. Really bad. And he casting director must have been having a particularly cruel day. Everyone on screen - and I mean EVERYONE, including the children - looks like they were assembled from spare parts. It's almost impressively ugly.

But here's the twisted beauty: this movie is so spectacularly, catastrophically awful that it transcends badness and becomes pure entertainment gold. Sometimes disaster creates accidental art.

The acting is bad, the dialog is bad, even the sets are bad. There are so many times where stuff just doesn't make sense. Like the main henchman getting knocked out without seeing anyone and then in the next scene he knows what happened and exactly who it was. It's laughable and so bad. Even when the main character walks into a building and needs a dead body pointed out to him even though he is some former FBI agent that has also done some "Military stuff" hahaha, when he said that I busted up laughing. Also since when do FBI agents wear dog tags? This move was literally a nepo piece to try and boost his daughters careers and their awful acting.

What a crap that even doesnt have the right to be called a movie. It looks like a 6 year old project of school. Actors are a bunch of scraps like this is the best we can find and none of them have any acting skills. Take that FBI director for example, dressed like a drag queen and cannot even speak proper English. She sound like a Japanese with 2 days of English training. Best is to skip this kind of garbage... or must prefer movies with super bad actors and a storyline that makes totally no sense.
