9/10
Amazing crime thriller, deserves a much better rating

William B. Davis is my favorite actor and I'm a big fan of his acting in movies and in television (most notably his role as The Cigarette Smoking Man on The X-Files. I'm also a crime drama addict so I was really happy to have found Out of Line on YouTube.

The plot tells the story of Jenny (Jennifer Beals), a parole officer who works to rehabilitate and keep an eye on the ex-cons. She works with her friend/parolee Larry (Michael Moriarty) and best friend/colleague Russell (William B. Davis). She's highly respected in her workplace and leads a totally normal life.

One day Jenny is assigned to a charismatic parolee named Henri Brulé (Holt McCallany). His crime was murder, and he starts showing up like a stalker in all the places she goes as well as acting very disturbing and sort of perverted towards average people on the street, in places like the local library and jewelry store. When he and Jenny fall in love and have an illegal relationship, Larry finds this out and tells Russell, who at first doesn't believe it but later talks to Jenny about it. Jenny denies it, but when she finds herself at gunpoint no thanks to Brulé, she realizes that she let her better judgment slip.

This movie currently has a 5/10 overall rating, it deserves much better! It was obviously well planned, the soundtrack really fits all the scenes, the ending was amazing and the actors were all great in their roles. The Canadian scenery was cool to see as well, most of the crime dramas I've seen take place in the States although I'm Canadian, probably something to do with general filming locations or something.
