THE PLOT THUS FAR
Torn apart over time, the ambitions of four childhood friends place them on different sides of the law when two of them become FBI agents and are forced to go undercover to infiltrate an illegal drug organization, run by an untouchable drug lord and his right-hand man. Once they’re immersed in their friends’ drug-filled world, the agents find that the rules of honoring the badge don’t exist,because loyalty is a lie and deception has no friends when vengeance must be served.
WHAT WE THOUGHT
“Line of Duty” is not a great movie. Honestly, it plays like a television movie. That being said, there’s an audience for fairly decent crime drama. We’ve seen the four friends crime angle done better before, but why does everything always have to be topping something else? You can like both takes and appreciate the genre entertainment. Plus, it keeps Sean Patrick Flanery from doing anymore Boondock Saints movies. It’s a win-win.
The DVD comes with a Digital Copy, deleted scenes and trailer gallery. The Dolby 5.1 track sets a stage, but it doesn’t have anything to show off. I’m not sure of that was the purpose of it, but it works. Plus, the transfer isn’t too bad for standard definition. In the end, I’d recommend a purchase.
