Lots of comments saying Line of Duty is implausible and low brow. Maybe but is that less true of other action flicks, like the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon franchises? Mission Impossible or James Bond films?
For me this is a well executed throw back to 80's style action films. Its heavy handed with its action scenes which comes thick and fast. Its a buddy team up film, with decent chemistry. Its utterly over the top with really silly stunts, crashes, explosions, weapons and more. It has a corny sense of humour.
One thing it also is, is "FUN". Its superficial entertainment and if done well, as is the case here, there is nothing wrong with the guilty pleasure this film represents. Just as there is nothing wrong with a few beers, potato chips, dip and take away's.
Film snobs will hate this movie. I really enjoyed it and hope to see more like it. 7/10 from me.
