Cross The Line aka Operator. (2015) – Olson Brothers.

Chiselled B-Movie Boss Luke Goss amiably portrays a righteous cop, courageously aided by his grumpily estranged wife (Mischa Barton), their desperate attempts to rescue their kidnapped daughter make Cross The Line a robustly entertaining DTV time killer. It isn't entirely fair to state that if you have seen one Goss DTV shoot 'em up, you've seen 'em all, while he is often cast in pedestrian roles, he remains a likeable, high-energy actor who frequently shines brighter than the film itself. Bolstered by a solid cast, Cross The Line features Mischa Barton, Michael Pare, and burly nemesis Ving Rhames oozes his signature menace. While Mr. Goss has successfully portrayed morally ambivalent characters, I believe his forte is playing gritty good guys, and stoic, straight-shooting cops, providing a credible hero for the Olson Brothers locomotive high-tech action thriller. While the stolid text doesn't offer much in the way of surprises, I credit the directors for maintaining a rigorous pace throughout, and delivering a well-executed, slam-bang jackknifing truck stunt. Energetic, and fun to watch, Cross The Line exceeded my admittedly muted expectations; as an ageing B-action hound, I'm a sucker for some surly Michael Pare action, remaining a capable, ruggedly handsome actor I'm always happy to see cast in a boisterous DTV actioner.
