Out of Line (2001)
5/10
Okay film to waste time with on a slow afternoon.

Warning: Spoilers
This is a movie with a plot that we have all seen before (good woman redeems bad man who really is a good guy at heart) many times. The main characters are all stock characters and very predictable.

This is a very low budget movie that doesn't even try to pretend to be more exciting then it is by trying to flash things up with car chase scenes,a loud musical sound track (in fact, the music is like a flashback to a 1970s cop show), trashy women and/or men, or beautiful locations.

That said, there are some very able well known actors in the film who deliver good performances despite a mediocre script. There is no suspense that I can recall or any dialog that was important to the plot. The supporting actors all deliver good performances also.

The two leads have decent on screen chemistry and the touching relationship that develops between them is believable. Yes, predictable, but sweet just the same.

If you like Jennifer Beals or Holt McCallany, or movies about ex-cons on parole you might find this mildly entertaining.
