Our take
A Line of Fire is an R-rated action thriller about a retired FBI agent pulled back into Miami crime networks after a friend's death. Shootouts show blood spurts, and a woman and two children are held at gunpoint. Strong language is frequent. Reviews note uneven quality, but the violence and language match a standard R action rating. Best for older teens who want a straightforward crime shoot-'em-up
Uplifting themes
Protecting family and finishing a friend's fight get some emphasis The lead tries to shield his daughters while solving the case

Talk after watching
- The hero left work to raise his daughters. How do families balance career and home?
- Old loyalties draw him back into danger. When is it worth risking safety for a friend?
- Low-budget action still shows real consequences like gunfire. How do movies shape views of violence?
