Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Lifeline (1997)
A heroic but cocky firefighter pays no regard to the dangers of the job but lacks the courage to face his personal demons. When faced with a giant and volatile inferno, he must put aside personal differences with his boss if they are both to survive.
