Life On The Line

Completely Satisfied

I love John Travolta, so this was a great movie. It is not accurate however of what happens when electricity blows up like it shows in this movie. But again it is just a movie not a documentary. Other than that for entertainment purposes it is a good movie.

This is based on a true story.Right there with everything that these linemen do for us every day that goes consciously and unconsciously unacknowledged...Most people don't want to think about how others risk their lives every day for us.The movie was so well done.Absolutely for all of the things the lineman do for us and the tributes at the end and the storyline in between to weave it all together.The my best rating ever

Putting Your Life on the Line as a Power Lineman Occupation didn't get the respect it deserved Until this Movie, Based on True Stories of the hundreds of men and women who die every year so that we can have the luxury of electricity. It just boggles the mind I never knew this was the Worlds 4th most dangerous job, yet where would we be without this skill? Still stuck, literally In the dark ages. I've seen way more adventurous movies I really enjoyed and believed were great and gave them 5 stars, although this movie could have done much better in production and having only One Major Actor tow the line of an entire movie was tough. I thought John Travolta did as best a job as possible, considering he wasn't working with seasoned actors. They were good, but he carried the movie. For this reason, I give it 5 Stars. This Movie is so moving and in most areas very real, however it goes off story a little, including an ex soldier with war flash backs I thought was strange, but its possible I guess. Basically It was REAL and brings to light the TRUE Meaning of how this job affects so many and is it worth dying for as so very many have. Makes you think. An incredible eye opener to learn how important a job this is and how little we appreciate them. Not anymore, at least not for me.

I worked with some of the best men and women in the world . it take a special person with pride to be a line men or line women I worked with a women that was a small women but she had pride and we did have to do some extra rope rigging to help lift heavy things but it made us better line worker's because we used the tools and are training to do are job safe evey day. Let me get this out of the way she was a very beautiful woman and she loved men (no we did not ) see when you work with some one you see more than your wife they became more like a brother or sisters to you . so let move on . like my title said most people never see what line men see the power of mother nature is amazing a ice storm can take a 100 years old tree and pull it apart till the only thing there is about the size if a tooth pick ,the Wight of the ice took every pole down or damage them , let's back up here if there is no power in 1993 in Greenville, Mississippi and no power for 300 Miles any way you drove where are all the linemen going to sleep ( not that they will sleep much ) and it was February so campaign was out.let's add no running drinking water and was told not to take a bath In it for the sewer plant overflow in to the water plant . but thee things happened in bad storms and the lineman is still on his way to help fix the damage the storm did knowing the may have to sleep in a gymnasiums with about 50 to100 other people from all over . so here one you never see we see a sing tell us last store for rule for the next 150 mile we are all about on e see we got our trucks oldest to the max with supply pulling poles. We go in to get fuel and they do not take the rule man card they call or company they tell the we will overnight them a check for the fuel ( I forgot to tell you the state was under a state of emergency ) so that mean if we needed we could just took it and gave them a IOU became it was below freezing and people's lifes are in danger we explained I say we the state troopers tell the store owner ( store owner calls them on us. Here what we do we have to use our own cc to pay for the fuel just to keep the piece. Our company pays us back when we got back 30 day latter. Here the funny part there are other line crews coming up about 100 mile behind us from a other company they hear us talking on the radio ( Lucky for them they have the same frequency to hear us) there like we need fuel will the owner hold the fuel till we get there we ask if he would no keep in most mind he got paid by all of us. He said no will not hold fuel for anyone. The troop said I don't have a way to stop him .we told him we do we turn off part of his power until the other crew get there and turns it back on to get fuel and left it on when they pulled out ( we where told later the store owner was fined ) see the peopleer see any of us that ! We worked that storm for 47 day about 18hr a day no days off . became another ice storm hit the state of Georgia and the Federal government pull 1000 men and sent them there .when we where told we was going to Missippiss we would only be there 7 bays max total day 47 +7 = 54 days but people never see or think about that but for us its part of the job . I loved my job I made good money the work is a very dangerous job I lost friend never a partner before I retired my partner worked together for 14 years . in the movie you hear the wife tell him its your ugly wife my partner and I put are kids though High schools seen them get married have kids I still talk with my partner David 2 times a week if not move my kids call him if they need help fixing a car became he is the best mechanic I ever seen. The woman that I worked with she went to for AT&A in the outdoor line work it was for more money . I hope that everyone enjoyed the movie the people that do this type of work do become like a big family I think it because we have to trust each other with our lives as for the ending that would never happened but that a movie for you . one more thing I just found another one of my old friend on face book we talked for 2 hr but it was like we had seen each other everyday and its been snout 14 years . I hope that this give people a idea of what it like to be a power lineman GodBless all of you

I am in shock at some of the heartless reviews on this movie. I am one of two daughters of the greatest man I've ever known...my Daddy. He was a lineman and also the foreman and supervisor of the electrical department in our area. He was the most sacrificing man a person could imagine. He went to work many days without lunch because the pay was not the best and he made sure we were taken care of first and foremost. He worked in the freezing cold rain, sleet and snow for days on end with absolutely no sleep. These guys go 72 hours and sometimes more with no rest to make sure they do their job and take care of those who are cold and possibly in need of medical equipment which also goes down in home and in nursing care facilities. He would always say he thought about the cold babies and children as well as the elderly people who suffer during power outages. They also went without food and drink to make sure others could have it. The conditions are miserable to say the least and the dangers associated with this line of work are many. Only a certain type of man does this job. They must be wiling to suffer and sacrifice and have honor, integrity, and selflessness beyond measure. So I from the bottom of my heart thank all of the wonderful lineman risking their lives for us and am so glad a movie was finally made about this dangerous job. Love you Daddy and Rest in Peace!

I gave this movie a negative review by accident. This was in fact one of the best movies I've ever purchased in awhile and John's acting was fantastic. This movie had drama, fear, strength, and yes, even brought me to tears at times. I promise you will love this movie. I'd give it 3 thumbs up if I had 3 so I can only give it 2.

Solo asegúrate de tomar el formato correcto

Utilisation personnelle c’est un film que j’avais vu à la télé et comme il m’a beaucoup plu je l’ai acheté. Super film l’histoire est très bien mais un peu triste à la fin. Qualité d’image très bien.

Bon film touchant

Bon film dramatique avec John Travolta, dans un rôle peu habituel qui lui va comme un gant.Le film est bien, mais un peu trop court, il aurait mérité d'être un peu plus développé.
