ACROSS THE BLUE LINE

A somewhat contradictory impression. On the one hand, a very simple and clichéd plot, but on the other hand, a vivid, tense, emotional, and realistic impact. You watch it in one breath. Thank you!

This was heavy, but so good. You can feel Marvin's frustration building up minute by minute. When the police won't help, you totally understand why he crosses the line. The pacing was perfect for a 25-minute short. Pure, gritty suspense.

Great idea, but poor implementation.

Dramatic, suspenseful, thought-provoking. I enjoyed the story much. It reminds us that things like sex trafficking aren't always dealt with by the law, that it really isn't as uncommon as we'd like to think. The acting was emotional, giving the film justice. It concluded very well.

I liked the story and acting, but the visuals were a bit dull.

A powerful piece of social commentary disguised as a crime thriller. The transformation of a law-abiding retired cop into someone who breaks his own rules is handled with great maturity.

Dark, gritty, and completely unapologetic. The cinematography really captured that feeling of a failing system. Loved it.
