Set
in the
drug
underworld
between
the
Mexican
and
American
border,
a powerful
crime
family's
head
is on
his
death
bed
- when
handing
the
operation
over
to a
non-family
member,
this
is met
with
great
protest
from
others
in the
organization.
Concurrently
the
secret
service
is planning
to alter
events,
while
an assassin
is also
brought
in.
With
a gritty,
nasty
streak,
the
unsympathetic
characters
drive
towards
a fateful
conclusion,
while
Liotta
as the
assassin
portrays
the
killer
(with
a personal
dilemma
which
may
affect
his
work),
inadvertently
becoming
entwined
with
the
life
of a
struggling
(but
beautiful)
prostitute
and
her
child.
While
it is
not
the
same
kind
of movie,
tonally
La Linea
does
display
similarities
with
Man
On Fire.
I must
admit,
I was
quite
distracted
throughout
most
of the
movie's
scenes
with
Liotta,
as his
trademark
scarred
cheeks
seemed
to be
filled
out
with
collagen
(or
age?),
and
just
made
the
once
concave
scars
bulge
out...
