What a shame...What could have been a simple movie about the dangers Texas linemen or any Lineman has to go through was instead a total mess that felt like I was watching a weeks worth of general hospital reruns wrapped up in a 90minute movie.What a shame....

A crew of men who do the high-wire work of fixing the electrical grid are hit by a sudden deadly storm. I did read some of the reviews before i write one of my own for this film and i gotta say i do agree on certain stuff the movie does have way too much melodrama and some clichés as some reviewers pointed out also this whole story with this guy Eugene and his wife was totally forgettable and hurt the film a lot if you ask me and it tries to combine a lot of stuff together like humor or some fight sequences and it takes some time to actually get to the main plot of the film also my last complaint was Sharon Stone as Duncan's mother why was she in the film? She was pretty damn forgettable too. Now on the positive side of things some dramatic aspects of the film did work in my opinion and personally i liked John Travolta and Kate Bosworth they were the best part of the whole film and the acting wasn't that bad. It's a slow paced film indeed but it's definitely nowhere near as bad as some other films that Travolta has done this last few years for example Criminal Activities and let's not forget the famous 'Battlefield Earth' the worst Science Fiction film of all time so i find it a bit over reacting that some people actually gave this film so many 1/10 stars it's not the greatest film of all time but it's nowhere near as bad as i feared or thought it was going to be. (7/10)

If you don't want to waste your life away by watching an awful movie that sucks in so many ways, with poor acting and a very weak plot then DO NOT watch this movie... even if you do like John Travolta.Nothing in the movie is at all funny nor is it remotely interesting. Even the biggest scene with the storm was only about 15 minutes long.IT'S POOP I TELL YA, IT'S POOP!

Watched this tonight - Watt a treat, its absolutely shocking, electrifying and keeps pylon on the suspense, it really amps up towards the end, and manages to fuse and splice current day tech with raw acting power, if you want a film that makes you go "ohm my god" you cant do better than this John Tra-volt-a charged joule of a movie. This really sparks the imagination and overloads the senses, worth the watch. Follow it up by watching the new program on the documentary channel about power workers searching the top floor of abandoned power stations for old valuables - Cash in the static.
