Another in the IN THE LINE OF DUTY TV series, thie time around focusing on a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde who commit a series of armed bank robberies. Lori Loughlin and Bruce Campbell star, and it's particularly amusing/enjoyable to see the latter star stepping away from his horror career to do something more thriller-y. He's as earnest as ever, as are the rest of the cast, although the show sticks to cliche and feels average despite the occasional ferocity of the subject matter; perhaps it's simply a little too repetitive.

A little repetitive
Been there, Done that
This movie has so many clichés, I had to stop counting. Not only this, but the film editing was horrible. This movie was supposed to take place in Chicago. I'm not sure when Chicago had backdrops of beautiful pine tree covered hills. As a resident of Portland, I immediately recognized the film location. As far as the plot goes, the leading female character has bi-polar disorder and that was also stereotyped and somewhat glossed over. The lead detective's role was oversimplified, especially in regards to his relationship with his father, Who, of course, is a retired police officer. I saw the first 15 minutes of this film and was pretty much able to predict the remaining hour.
has its good moments
this based on a true story movie is all right,i suppose.it involves a ban robber and his wife/partner,and the FBI as they try and stop him.problem is,he wears a good disguise and thanks to his wife(the brains behind the outfit)very organized.eventually the bank robberies escalate into shootings,and the move ends on a tragic,sad note.Unlike another In the Line of Duty movie,The FBI Murders,this one is not as brutally violent.it also moves a lot slower.the criminals in this one are shown to be more sympathetic.whether that's accurate to the real story,i don't know.Bruce Campbell(The Evil Dead Trilogy)and Lori Loughlin(TV's Full) House star as the husband and wife.both are decent enough.Loughlin was actually pretty good,transcending her all American girl image from Full House.i'd give this movie a 5.5/10
