LINE OF DESCENT

Cinemavixion Review

Rohit Karn Batra's 'Line of Descent' plunges into the murky depths of a dysfunctional mafia family, where the struggle for a father's estate ignites a brutal conflict among three brothers. The narrative gains a compelling edge with the introduction of a determined cop, played by Abhay Deol, who navigates the treacherous family dynamics, seemingly steering them towards an inevitable tragic conclusion. Adding a volatile dimension is Brendan Fraser's portrayal of a boisterous arms dealer, whose entanglement in the family's war, complicated by a mole within his own operations, serves to fuse these disparate worlds into a singular, explosive climax. While the film has garnered a modest 4.6/10 rating on IMDb, its exploration of familial betrayal, power struggles, and the intertwining of criminal enterprises offers a gritty cinematic experience for those drawn to intense crime dramas.
