The Line is a campus thriller that plunges into the dangerous world of college fraternities and blind adherence to tradition. Alex Wolff stars as Tom, a scholarship student desperate to break free from his working-class background who is charmed by the prestigious KNA fraternity's promises of high social status and alumni connections that open doors. But upon beginning a romance with Annabelle (Halle Bailey), a classmate outside of his social circle, and the manipulative schemes of his fraternity president (Lewis Pullman) unfolding during the hazing of new members, Tom finds himself ensnared in a perilous game of ambition and loyalty.

For all its comparative lack of insight, there’s something intriguing about the ride, due chiefly to a pair of fascinating lead performances and a fatalistic sense of humor.

Rated: 3/4

Berger takes a keen anthropological approach to the rites and rituals of the fictitious Kappa Nu Alpha house, and he makes it so that you can almost smell the stale beer and crumpled Ralph Lauren.

Ethan Berger’s "The Line" may not break new ground in addressing the toxic masculinity prevalent in fraternity settings, but it offers a gripping thriller that probes the darker realities of unchecked behavior.

This is one of the few fraternity films that doesn't try to lean too much into the comedy aspect, and keeps true to the characters, storyline and experience of what it's like to be greek. Highly recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
