ON THE LINE Review: Mel Gibson’s Latest Dials In A Pure Thriller That Doesn’t Leave You On Hold

With much recent film buzz dedicated to Chad Staheski’s long-anticipated JOHN WICK 4 (2023) among other blockbusters being released, it is somewhat sad to see that Mel Gibson’s recent film ‘ON THE LINE’ (2023) overshadowed by other offerings – when in all honesty, Gibson’s work should never be ignored.  Regardless of his exploits beyond the silver screen, the man is quite simply one of the greatest gifts to modern cinema; a talented actor, director, and icon that should command more respect than be recognised for courting controversy.  (And yes, as this movie critic is Australian there is a clear bias but one that is justified and vindication especially if one refers to his large catalog of films).

LETHAL WEAPON 5 Is Back On The Table With Mel Gibson Up To Star And Direct

A fifth chapter of the Lethal Weapon franchise has been in the works for years, with iterations that even once included Chris Hemsworth as a potential prospect for such a film then working-titled “Lionhunters”. The Tracking Board broke that news in 2014 and obviously there’s been no movement, which is clearly not too heavy a burden for the Aussie actor and Marvel franchise mainstay, though it helps that the trades eventually broke news further down in 2017 with original staples Mel Gibson, Danny Glover and filmmaker Richard Donner behind the wheel.

BOSS LEVEL Review: An Upbeat, Fresh And Fun Take On Familiar Sci-Fi Tropes With Suitably Violent Results

Director Joe Carnahan has been one of the most fascinating filmmakers I’ve followed in the last two decades, having seen all of his movies sans his 1998 directing debut, Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane. Carnahan definitely gets right down to the grit and gumption of his stories. They’re not all masterpieces, but they kick ass at levels that are wholly worth the attention of his viewing audience.

DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE: Mel Gibson Intends To Collect In The Official Trailer!

Director S. Craig Zahler is exactly the kind of director you’re looking for if you want a film that leaves a lasting impact. Last year’s head-stomping hit with Brawl In Cell Block 99 proved to be an entertainingly violent allegory on redemption from the Bone Tomahawk director and apart from any of the reviews stemming from its screening last year at Venice, his newest entry, Dragged Across Concrete, seemingly teases something that could almost be just as brutal and chilling, and just as soulful by way of its soundtrack.
