Life on the Line Ratings & Reviews
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
This is a low voltage drama where the facial hair prosthetics on John Travolta's face are far more entertaining than anything else in the movie.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The filmmakers behind this earnest, heartfelt drama truly want to honor the brave men who do this job, but the movie is packed with cliches and doesn't really grasp the details of hard work.
Variety
Joe Leydon
John Travolta dodges downed power lines, but can't escape the clichs.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The bravery is undermined by the aggressively clichd screenplay and its focus on behind-the-scenes bickering.
We Got This Covered
Robert Yaniz, Jr.
A listless cast and a crushingly flat script fail to illuminate the lives of high-wire electrical workers in Life on the Line, which instead resorts to tired story beats and a false sense of self-righteousness.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
This is one of those "based on true events" movies that give you the distinct feeling that the true events deserved better.
JoBlo's Movie Network
Chris Bumbray
TV movie fare at best.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
A terrible movie about the workers who keep the electrical grid functioning.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
The real men and women who work on the country's power grids deserve better than a periodically ludicrous, mostly tedious study of honor and teamwork.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
This is the kind of salt-of-the-earth story that American filmmakers don't bother with much anymore - although frankly, there's not much here to convince anyone they should.
New York Daily News
Dan Gunderman
"Life on the Line" is supposed to be a moving story about men working electrical lines. Viewers, however, might require a high-voltage shock just to endure it.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
The country songs that play over the credits offer more arresting detail about life on the line than the film manages in 100 minutes.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Movies like Life On The Line ... fancy themselves meat-and-potatoes dramatic thrillers that big studios don't often make anymore. Unfortunately, they're more like gristle mixed in with a couple of burnt french fries.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
For a film about such a singular profession, Life on the Line offers surprisingly little insight into linemen's day-to-day labor.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Life may be on the line, but it's in short supply on the screen.
