Option "B" ain't good
Barely watchable
The movie has SOME entertainment value to, at least, watch it once; for that I gave it a 3, but, oh my god....
I have read some of the reviews from some actual lineman that testify to how ridiculous this is. The soap opera aspects, the cliched dialog and circumstances that are delivered to us will make you cringe; this is just extremely lazy writing and film-making.
Yes, there is actually a character called "poke-chop", for crying out loud.
The lineman of this country deserve to be recognized, but not like this.
