Updating Legends
John Travolta is a line man, one of those guys you see in a hard helmet and red vest on power lines, doing something dangerous and obscure…. and the power running. Lives depend on that power, and he’s got s pregnant niece, her boyfriend as his new, unobservant apprentice, and a storm on the way.

Watching this attempt to mythologize another form of Texas Hard Man in the aftermath of at least 86 Texans dying because their power grid went out last month…. well it interferes with the impulse; it’s hard to print the legend with the facts still fresh in your mind. It’s also startling to hear Travolta with a twang overlaying his usual accent, but to my untutored ears, he’s pretty good, his face buried under a beard. If’s a good updating of the standard western tropes. Perhaps when this year’s events have faded, it will seem better.

I honestly don’t know where to start..
This film is a mess. Before watching it , I read that a former lineman and founder of a charity for fallen linemen was behind it so I had high hopes. These were quickly dashed. I would have preferred if the film had shown what these men actually do but other than climbing a couple of poles, moving some cables out of the way and someone re-enacting titanic on the top of a pylon, we see not a lot. From what I understand, the technical stuff is mostly wrong and the plot is something we’ve all seen before. The two lovelorn “kids” in the movie must be in their mid to late thirties and John Travolta’s various wigs were more convincing than most of the actors. I hate slagging a film that has been made with a good cause in mind but this was one of the worst films I’ve seen in a while and probably does a disservice to the men and women who do this dangerous job. I do think this is an interesting subject and I hope one day someone makes a film that does these people justice.
