We first talked with director Steven C. Miller back in 2012, shortly after he had success with his horror flick Silent Night. Steven had come onto the scene with a few genre hits, including Under the Bed and The Aggression Scale, but it was Silent Night that -- in our eyes -- took his career to the next level. Since then he's worked with the likes of Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Nicolas Cage on high-profile projects Extraction, Escape Plan 2 and Marauders. With each one he took things up a notch, creating increasingly entertaining action films. His latest flick, Line of Duty, is among his best work. Don't believe me? Read our review here . I just got off the line with Steven, and we talked about the movie, working with the great Aaron Eckhart, and his career thus far. It's a fun and informative chat with a man whose goal is to give the audience a good time, and I can't wait for you all to hear it. When, you ask? How about next Friday, Jan. 17, at 6:05 in...

I was jonesing to see Steven C. Miller's latest action flick for a while. It's been out in the states since November, but just turned up in Our Home and Native Land. Suffice to say, as soon as I got my hands on a copy, I poured myself a whisky and watched it. And I was not disappointed. Sure, this is a lower budget effort, but Miller is very good at getting a lot of bang for his buck, and he does so again here. Much of Line of Duty's running time plays out in real time, with disgraced cop Aaron Eckhart in a race to rescue a police chief's daughter from kidnappers. This makes for a propulsive thriller that's essentially one long chase via foot, vehicle and, toward the end, helicopter. Miller and Eckhart commit themselves to the project, instilling it with energy and fun. The director knows how to shoot an action scene, and excels at keeping things moving. And Eckhart throws himself into the role as an aging action guy with a lot of baggage. They make this fil...
