About
You may enjoy this if you like breezy, old-school action thrillers with wildfire peril and a pulpy villain, somewhere near Nowhere to Run in spirit; Not for you if you need realism, sharp writing, or serious drama.
Pros: exciting action scenes; strong villain presence; solid popcorn-movie fun | Cons: unrealistic details; cheesy dialogue; uneven fire effects
