Variety Dennis Harvey

With Mariel Hemingway a credible Sapphic Stallone, this passable action trash should satisfy as fun original programming for gay-targeted Here! cable net.

The New York Times Nathan Lee

In Her Line of Fire -- produced to be shown on the gay cable network Here! -- flaunts its Sapphic subplot (all five minutes of it) like a pesky contractual obligation, and otherwise plays like straight-to-video gun pornography from the heyday of Chuck Norris.

Ken G. gave it a7:
The lesbian romance aspect is clumsy, and comes across almost as an afterthought that filmakers had after shooting was complete (and thus went back and made lame attempt to add it). Off course you know this wasn't the case since movie was made by the gay cable channel Here TV, but it feels like it was the case. However movie is effective and entertaining as an action-thriller, and though Hemmingway and Bennett have little chemistry together, each is fine indivually. Keith is also good as the vice president, and in this day and age there is something refreshing about a vice president (or president), who is the first to grab a gun, and put his life at risk.
