Life on the Line
As a huge electrical storm sweeps towards Texas, lineman Beau Ginner is haunted by memories of his brother's death by lightning years earlier. Since that tragic day, he has raised his niece Bailey and risen to foreman of a lineman team. However, there is friction when Bailey's on-off boyfriend Duncan joins the crew, while another new recruit is hiding PTSD symptoms. Beau and his team are soon putting their lives at risk in a race to replace miles of power cables to keep the electrical grid running before the deadly lightning storm strikes. Based on a true story; this film is a tribute to the heroes who risk it all to keep us safe.

As Good As It Gets
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
What a shame...What could have been a simple movie about the dangers Texas linemen or any Lineman has to go through was instead a total mess that felt like I was watching a weeks worth of general hospital reruns wrapped up in a 90minute movie.What a shame....
This movie is hilarious! Travolta's "Talladega Nights" but with power lines instead of cars. Genius.
Oh puh-lease nothing new. Put a kissing a male nanny on the stairs to his plane in there...hell people pay for that. Kathe Bosworth showing off her new face surgery is great, but still can't pass for a teen honey, just saying. Scientology members should be forced to watch this movie as a form of de-programming due to a perceived boredom.
A feeble attempt at a BACKDRAFT or TOPGUN for linemen. Am waiting for TRASHTRUCK to hit the theaters. Only thing missing was Beau's coffin carried on top of a power company truck as the credits rolled..... Can any more tragedies befell one family? I Wish directors started to lay back with the overused flasbacks scenes.
