Travolta needs to do scruffy more often, this was a good look for him. Sharon stone was brave without makeup and she looked younger than in some of her other movies so kudos to her. This was a good movie and I don't know anything about linemen, so I don't know how accurate it was. But there was too much drama and not enough about the story of the job. Good to watch once on a boring Tuesday night.

When Beau jumped on the bar to close the circuit he would have been touching nothing else and would not have been electrocuted, like a bird on a power line wouldn't be. He could have pushed himself off the bar and landed where he had been standing.

This movie is hilarious! Travolta's "Talladega Nights" but with power lines instead of cars. Genius.

A crew of men who do the high-wire work of fixing the electrical grid are hit by a sudden deadly storm. I did read some of the reviews before i write one of my own for this film and i gotta say i do agree on certain stuff the movie does have way too much melodrama and some clichés as some reviewers pointed out also this whole story with this guy Eugene and his wife was totally forgettable and hurt the film a lot if you ask me and it tries to combine a lot of stuff together like humor or some fight sequences and it takes some time to actually get to the main plot of the film also my last complaint was Sharon Stone as Duncan's mother why was she in the film? She was pretty damn forgettable too. Now on the positive side of things some dramatic aspects of the film did work in my opinion and personally i liked John Travolta and Kate Bosworth they were the best part of the whole film and the acting wasn't that bad. It's a slow paced film indeed but it's definitely nowhere near as bad as some other films that Travolta has done this last few years for example Criminal Activities and let's not forget the famous 'Battlefield Earth' the worst Science Fiction film of all time so i find it a bit over reacting that some people actually gave this film so many 1/10 stars it's not the greatest film of all time but it's nowhere near as bad as i feared or thought it was going to be. (7/10)
