Firestorm

My only grouch is that the movie only runs at 88 minutes. It should have been way longer. More plot and more fire would have a made a totally ace movie. For a film called Firestorm there is a big lack of fire in it.

The DVD is in fantastic Dolby 5.1 and is letterboxed at 2.35:1.

I never understood why Howie Long doesn't make more like this. I think he did a fine job. Good perfomances by Scott Glen and William Forsythe as well. Forsythe has bad guys down to an art. If you liked action films like "Cliffhanger" with Sylvester Stallone, "Diehard" with Bruce Willis, "The Fugitive" with Harrison Ford, or "Shoot to Kill" with Tom Berenger you should like this. This is as good as many I have seen by these actors. While fighting a fire a group of convicts escape and Howie must stop them from kidnapping his friends. I would say give the critics the axe.

I enjoyed this action movie and especially after having seen Howie in Broken Arrow (not enough and a bad guy). He shows off his acting ability in Firestorm and once again there's also the action. I plan to add it to my home collection when the price drops!

THIS IS A ACTION PACKED MOVIE WITH PLENTY OF ACTION AND GOOD ACTING IT SEEMS [...]. I CARE ABOUT PLOT IT'S GOT IT , ACTION IT'S GOT IT AND OVERALL PLOT. SOME MOVIES HOLD YOUR ATTENTION EVEN IF THE PLOT IS WEAK BECAUSE OF SOMETHING THAT GRABS YOU. [...] THIS COULD HAVE EASY BEEN A 4 STAR. THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH A SITE THAT NO ONE WATCHES.[...]. AGAING GREAT MOVIE. IT'S VERY EASY TO FIND ME!!! ANY TIME

I REALLY DON'T HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE OTHER THEN IT WAS THE WORST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN. ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT HOWIE LONG IS A GOOD ACTOR, YOU GOT SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU. HE'S THE WORST ACTOR I'VE EVER SEEN. THAT MOVIE WAS A TOTAL JOKE AND I NOW FEEL DUMBER AFTER WATCHING THAT PEICE OF GARBAGE.
