Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Michael Ledo Tyler Dravon (Aleks Paunovic) is a linebacker who is also a sociopath in a constant steroid rage who may or may not play for the Raiders. While in the Cedar Hills jail a fire breaks out and genetically alters him so he is a fire starter. Only two people on the planet can stop him . Federal agent Lee Cooper ( Ian Somerhaler) teams up with fire investigator Ava (Lexa Poig) as they have dinner at the finest gourmet dining in all of Cedar Hills, a restaurant that can also boast its own bowling alley.Made for TV type film. Badly scripted to the point it becomes tiresome to watch.
SanteeFats As far as I am concerned any movie with Lexa Doig in it is pretty good. Heck I even watched Jason X since she was in it. This movie is not bad if you put aside the premise that a steroid junkie, former linebacker who looks like he played with out a helmet (I mean he is UGLY) can turn into a pyromaniac and can shoot fire balls, well it is science fiction right? The plot is actually pretty good, the acting isn't bad and the end is good. Of course there is the required scene where the girl (Lexa) needs to be protected but what the hay. All in all I liked it. IMDb wants way too many lines to write these dad gum reviews so this is to get to their dang limit, I hope.
TheLittleSongbird That is not to say it was a great movie, but compared to the usual schlock SyFy are capable of and have a notorious reputation for I was surprised. Of course there are some things that don't work, such as the cheap special effects, clichéd characters that are no different from the typical characters you find in the SyFy disaster and creature movies and the script has its cheesy moments. Like with all SyFy movies and most movies in general, there are about nine or ten noticeable(compared to the usual fifty plus) continuity errors like one minute the handcuffs are behind his back, next they're in front, but they are not as numerous as before or since. However, the photography and editing rather than choppy are quite good. The story is also interesting, somewhat chaotic, but it is a departure from the fantasy/adventure, disaster movie and giant creature movie genre, and it doesn't make the mistake of being dull either like other SyFy movies have. The music I found great, haunting and helping to enhance what is going on, usually it is overbearing or goes at sluggish tempos that it feels like it's slowing the film down. There is some interesting science, not all of it is plausible, but unlike movies like Miami Magma you sort of buy it. And the acting was better than I expected, Lexia Doing is especially convincing in her role. So all in all, not great but I did enjoy it. 6/10 Bethany Cox
JoeB131 Yup, this is typical Sci-Fi Channel. Or maybe it's SyFy Channel now. Get a crew up to Canada, pretend it's somewhere in America, have at it.To be fair, this is a step above most of its schlock.A pro-football player abuses steroids, becoming in effect a human torch. A local fire investigator and a dapper federal agent team up to stop him as he burns a swath of destruction through Canada... Err Nevada. No, Nevada, really.The tension/chemistry between Lexa Doig (who apparently figured out how to act some time between this Gem and Andromeda's well deserved cancellation!!) and the actor playing the federal agent is probably the best part of this movie. Some of the lines are kind of clever.
