      Audience Member Great movie about the early days of electric line construction. Fun and intense! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A charming little take about a group of linemen and their new recruit. Fonda is great as usual but the experience as a whole isn't one that stays with you very long, ultimately watchable but equally forgettable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
