There have been plenty of movies detailing life in a fraternity – Animal House being the crown jewel of all, no matter how outrageously funny. The newest entry in the genre, The Line which pr…

and thoroughly repulsive and unbearable roommate and BFF Mitch who is egging him on to be just as gross as he is. The others who would be right at home indon’t seem to be much better , at least in the 2014 scenario laid out here, and that includes the student leader of KNA, Todd who is trying to keep the place out of trouble and has been sternly warned there is not to be hazing of any kind that will be tolerated by University officials.

Berger and Russek serve up a lot of this , almost to the point wherecrosses the line before the real trouble – and heart of the action – starts.
The meat of it all comes during the inevitable, and well-detailed hazing scene as things rock out of control and an accidental death occurs and freaks everyone out. Their attempts to hide the evidence and avoid responsibility lead to confrontation with the cops led by the chief detective . Will anyone get blamed? Will Tom see the light? Will Kappa Nu Alpha be banned? It is not so black and white, just as life isn’t either.

Wolff, always one to watch, bites into this role and nails it, as does Bailey in a role that couldn’t be further from her current box office hit,Pullman is excellent, and I was really impressed with Abrams who is one of those young actors who can steal any scene he is in. He’s going places.
