Life on the Line (I) (2015)

Decent down-to-earth movie, much better than many big budget ones
7 December 2016
I reluctantly watched this movie after reading so many bad reviews here. Well, turns out it's not bad at all. It's actually much better than those xxx-man, new xxxx-war (even though I'm a big fan of other xxxx-war movies), or any mind-boggling ones which purposely disrupt natural timelines and make simple events hard to understand.

US movie industry has lost its sight for many years. Instead of making decent movies reflecting dramas in our daily lives, it bets on high flying (read "unrealistic, full of logic holes") ideas such as all kinds of ridiculous superheros, or fancier remake (read "copy & paste with nothing new in plot at all") such as the new star war movie.

Guess this is the ugly truth of the new reality. Building things one brick at a time is not fancy any more. Instead, creating billions out of nothing with weird financial ideas (read "cheating/stealing from others") makes you the king of the street.
