In Her Line of Fire
A**R
Mindless Action Flick but not unworthy
If you can get passed the issues at the beginning, the movie is an acceptable to way to spend some time on a movie that doesn't require you to think, and has a strong female lead that kicks ass and doesn't bother to ask names.The issues at the very beginning are: 1. Too Few Secret Service on the Vice Presidents plane. 2. Private planes, including those of the Potus and VPotus have normal seating for turbulance and take-offs and landings. People wouldn't just sit around a conference table trying to hang on. 3. Planes that land in the water must do a nose up crash landing attempt. Nose down would result in the plane tumbling and breaking apart. (See the Landing on the Hudson videos for examples of a well executed water landing). 4: Planes do not sink immediately upon a water landing, especially ones that have the fuselage intact. (Again, see the Landing on the Hudson for an example).Hemmingway and Bennet manage to to be convincing in their roles, despite the issues with those mentioned above and the overall fact that this is certainly not at the quality of Air Force One. There are two scenes where Hemmingway and Bennet kiss, and the tension between them is done well although not by any means is it palpable.Hemmingway is still hot as hell and Bennet looks almost like a baby lez compared to her, but it isn't an unrealistic pairing considering the movie isn't a "Lez Flick", I do like that the background attraction (not the main plot) is 2 women. It is nice to see this in a movie where their relationship isn't the focus of the movie, nor is it angst between the 2 characters. A welcome change.I ponied up the rental cost to watch the movie, but if B-grade action movies aren't your thing, I recommend checking out review trailers and video clips on line first before you think about paying the rental fee. Although there are far worse things you can spend 3 dollars for, including that flavored muck some coffee places pass off as drinkable.Overall, I am not crying for my money back and I don't wish I could get back the 1+ hour that I spent watching. Although I wouldn't rent it again in the future, however if it showed up on any free streaming service I might consider watching it again.

On balance, not a bad movie.
Don't expect too much high quality anything with this film and you should enjoy the action.Mariel Hemingway could still turn heads and interrupt conversations just by walking in the room and Jill Bennett would get more than her wanted fair share of female attention!I reckon that it was the hope of the cast and crew that their audience would leave all sense of rationality and believability behind when they pushed the 'play' button on their DVD players. I wasn't expecting Academy Award performances and so found myself pleased with my purchase and a welcome addition to my 'collection'.One question I found myself asking throughout the film... Why was Jill Bennett wearing a nice bright 'shoot-me-if-you-can' RED shirt when all the other characters were suitably attired in camouflage gear?!? Again, leave your sense of rationality behind.

Surviving A Plane Crash
This is about an American Vice President and his secret service agent Mariel Hemingway. Their plane crash in the ocean and they had to survive the best way they know in a jungle. In the main time the agent and the news reporter fill in love. Our government did not act quick enough as usual. Just an average action movie.

Fair movie
I was disappointed with this movie. Not worth the money. It was not bad. I liked that Mariel Hemingway was a secret service agent. I had hoped it would be more like her movie "First Daughter". Not bad. Dennis Quaid did well as the Vice President.

A good little adventure movie
A good little adventure movie, kind of like a tv or cable movie as opposed to a feature film. It has some similarities to a TBS movie series Mariel Hemingway did awhile back- First Daughter, First Shot & First Target (though Daryl Hannah is in one of those instead of Mariel Hemingway). Good cast & a nice change of pace to have the romance be between the 2 female leads.

This is a legit action film.
This is a sleeper, but with Mariel Hemingway and Jill Bennet, it is 9 stars, full of kickass action.

B movie?
The movie was okay, I just didn't think the actors were very good. I didn't like the guy who played the "Vice President" and totally couldn't stand the person who played the bad guy. It just seemed to be one of the movies that are played on Saturday on Sci Fi.

Worth watching
I like anything the Mariel Hemingway is in. Good, action movie. Would have liked a stronger relationship base. It was good enough to make me watch it twice.

Oh Muriel tsk tsk.
This was not one of Muriel Hemingway's better performances. The acting was less than stellar and the storyline was poor. We'll now I can say I've seen this movie but it wasn't her "Personal Best"
