On the Line (2022)

A very unexpected ending. Mel Gibson's game is up to par. He's still in shape!

the ratings are clearly too high. 3 a lot. I put 2

The ending is just BOMBASTIC

Beware of SPOILERS in the movie comments. It's better to watch this movie without reading the comments!!!

An incredibly intense film, what an intrigue. The ending is completely unexpected. The inaction of the police was a little surprising, but there was no time to think about it, everything was so fast.

It is unclear why the grades are so low? It turned out to be a good movie.

The ending is shit

What about the ending? Straight 💀💀

In short, the film was disappointing. The first half of the story was interesting, on the radio, I did not even expect that it would be so interesting to perceive the story only by ear. But then I often caught myself thinking that I do not believe in any events, I do not understand actions and what is happening at all. But in general it was watchable, so far the FINALE (the first one) has not happened. And it was a complete disappointment, because they tried to make it look like "that's a twist", but it looks more like a flaw.
Without such a denouement, it would be possible to put 3-3.5, but because of the merged ending, only 1.5 stars for a promising and interesting start.

*THERE ARE SPOILERS - DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED*

A merged ending that completely does not fit into the plot that was shown earlier. Within the framework of the film, where we watch all the characters, it looks good, BUT according to the script everything happens on the radio. And here the story breaks.

As soon as the plot turns to wandering through the corridors, the whole idea of a prank just doesn't work. Corpses scattered here and there, signs on necks, microphone mute, no conversations for a long time - it's all done as if only for a novice trainee, because listeners do not see and cannot appreciate it. They are just bored at this time, not seeing or understanding what is happening. All these scenes, sounds and actions could be simulated just by sitting in one room without making a mess of the whole building.
Actually, because of this, the impressions of the film were spoiled.

Even if they were recording on video and wanted to make a video about it, it doesn't work that way either - everyone is aware of what is happening, except for the intern (who is also aware of the outcome). Well, then why complicate everything on the table, turn the cameras away from the doors, break the elevator, run up 15 floors up the stairs, make your way through the elevator shaft and do a lot more to complicate the creation of an entertainment show.

The very idea of such a turn is not new, and the idea of a prank quickly comes to mind, especially so far that everything happens only within the framework of a phone call. But when everything moves to an office building, it stops working and you dismiss this idea, because too much is happening off the air. And when at the end you are given an obvious turn from the very beginning as something unexpected, it just looks ridiculous.

There are no words for the ending, the game is complete 🤡

Somewhere towards the end of the first half of the film, it comes to an understanding that everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance. There were many versions, but none of them turned out to be absolutely correct.
And it's interesting.
It makes you watch the movie from beginning to end without stopping. Delve into what is happening and think! Really think, and not just stare at the screen at a bunch of special effects and beautiful staged battles without meaning.
In some places, the film seems heavy, but it is definitely worth watching to the end.

The ending, of course, was interesting)
But I would be more happy for Dylan to be a real guy and after such a psychological trauma he went off the rails and took revenge on them by arranging a real game of survival ehehe)

Ladies and gentlemen, I have never been so deceived. Not the ending, but complete nonsense, shit, and what other bad words are there. To drive the floor of the film into a tension that appeared only at the end, and ruin everything with a freaking prank... I'm sorry, but that sounds crazy to me. I will never forgive this movie

The movie makes me angry. More precisely, its ending. That is, you expect the whole movie to find out the truth, what kind of psycho, what secrets are hidden, and as a result, an unexpected thing happens. I watched the movie with half an eye while I was cooking, so maybe I didn't catch something, but in the first 30 minutes the thought arose that this was all for PR of an unknown program. And honestly, if everyone had taken off their headphones at the end and said "fuuuh," they finally finished, look at the ratings, I wouldn't have been happy, but it would have been OK. And what happened, well, nonsense. As if the guitarist hadn't finished the ending, and decided to do it like this 🤷
And considering the second ending, everything makes no sense at all, because Dylan knew everything and it was just a fucked-up time.

The ending is expected and readable from the phrase at the beginning about low ratings. So I didn't expect anything else.The result is a black comedy that you watch and enjoy playing Mel Gibson, who is still in shape, more than you expect a super philosophical meaning.

It would be cooler if, after the second ending, Gibson kind of went crazy and, in his own delirium, it seems to him that everything was fine and it was a prank on him. But in fact, he lost his job, his family, disgraced the country, and the guy really died.
