On the Line (out Nov 17) stars Mel Gibson as a late-night radio announcer who must deal with a ticked-off talkback caller who claims to have kidnapped his wife and daughter. I’m the first to admit this doesn’t always make sense… but French writer-director Romuald Boulanger did enough to keep me engaged and interested in the characters’ fate. A trashy, entertaining action-thriller with a discussion-worthy finale! Grade: B.
