I originally chose this movie in order to check out the early work that Kevin Bacon has been in. Being one of my favourite actors I was interested to see what he was involved with early in his career.
That aside, End of the line is a nicely told story about a rail roading company moving on with the times, leaving a town and its workers for dead. Two men decide to confront the head of the company to demand their jobs be preserved instead of so callously been thrown away.
This movie raises common issues of change and how people either change with it or fall by the wayside. No attempts are made to solve these problems, or offer a solution either. In this way it is still a good movie for today despite the comparatively poor production quality now.
Worth a look for the scenery and the different pace that life is lived in Arkansas. Also for the effect that decisions made in one part of a country can have on a completely different part.
