BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Paul Wakefield I bought this on DVD as Amazon put it into my "recommendations list". Shame on you, this movie should never be recommended to anyone (except perhaps serial killers who want to reform). As someone who after watching just about every disaster movie there is (and now I know how to pilot a 747 in a lightning storm,what to do if ever a volcano springs up in Doncaster in England, or tornado landslide or earthquake)thought, oh I saw Jim Davidson (not our English comedian) in a movie called Crowfoot and thought it was watchable (perhaps Erin Gray was the real reason for watching it, but thats besides the point) I wondered if he could repeat the role of an American Cop who plays by the book. NO. Here we have the usual cop who wants to be Mr bigshot and knows it all, fine if you are Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson, their acting skills can add a hint of irony and comedy to this sort of thing, sorry Jim, you are not in the same league.I think that there was a storyline but in got lost in the timeless world of constant explosions, how the casino remained standing after the amount of explosions beats me, Gerry Anderson did a much better job in the puppet series Thunderbirds back in the 1960's.The ending, well it was incredible in that it was so lame. There they were baddie and ex girlfriend stood on top of the Hoover Dam, by this point I was guessing what effects could be used, I thought we would end up with the rerun of the dam that cracks open in the first Superman Film, which I believe was partly edited into an episode of the A-Team or something in the eighties, but no we had a picture postcard of the dam been blown up several times and in between shots it magically part repaired itself.I'm glad it only cost me £1.96 from Amazon otherwise I would be returning it to the seller wanting my money back, whether the charity shop that is going to get lumbered with it sell it remains to be seen, at least if they get it donated back several times, they would make more of a profit for a good cause.As for Amazon, sorry I will not be taking you up on any more recommendations from now on.

Wiz-Kid Ugh! I almost puked after I watched that... A very poor action movie, with mediocre performances, simplistic effects and sets, and a really clichéd storyline.Disaster, also known as Cult of Fury, stars Jim Davidson as Roger, an average action hero. Marnie Alton plays Tracy, the girl that causes the whole trouble, and Sonny Surowiec plays Maxwell, an arrogant villain who thinks he's a big genius and that putting a bunch of bombs in Las Vegas is going to make him as famous as Hitler, Jesus and Martin Luther King. I'm not joking, that's what he says in some part of the movie!Now, where's the problem? Maxwell decides to take hostages, hunt down the hero and the girl. The hero's sidekick, Kenny, also has a problem: his daughter, Jenna, is in danger. And THAT'S where everything starts to collapse... literally.Maxwell places bombs anywhere around the place and activates them using a PDA. He presses the "bomb icons" on the screen and... BOOM! A bomb explodes. What really surprised me is the amount of innocent people dying in this movie. It's a whole lot of people, I'm telling ya! At the end of the movie, a TV anchorwoman reveals the body count of this movie. The villain died. The hero's boss died. And dozens of innocent die......but it doesn't really matter, does it? I mean, the hero is alive, the girl is alive, the sidekick and his daughter are alive. All's well that ends well, right? Nobody is going to care about all those poor people who died. I really felt sorry for them, especially for the villain, who seemed to be a nice guy! If you find this movie in a video store, skip it, visit the IMDb and vote this a 1 out of 10. It deserves it.

Theo Robertson !!!!! MILD SPOILERS !!!!!Suppose you were in deadly danger and needed to be totally anon , what would you do ? If you answered " Hide in a cave " you'd probably be right . If you answered something along the lines of " Become a singing sensation at a Las Vegas casino " then you'd probably be carted off somewhere to be force fed anti-psychotic pills . Alternatively you could also be invited to write a script . Guess what ? someone was invited to write a script and it's called DISASTER .Tracy is on the run from a Cult ( That's not a spelling mistake by the way ) and decides to hide out in Vegas as a star singer who's so famous her posters are plastered everywhere . Oh and she doesn't even bother to change her name , only her hairstyle . Do you think this is credible ? Can we expect to see a duo called Osama and Saddam singing The Desert Song at a downtown casino in the near future ? but who needs credibility when you've got Yossi Wein as director Yossi Wein directed such fare as DEATH TRAIN , US SEALS and OCTOPUS 2 so you know what to expect ie not much . If DEATH TRAIN resembled UNDER Siege 2 then DISASTER resembles the original DIE HARD except it's set in a casino , has little in the way of budget , with an unimpressive cast . It's also obvious the bad guy was written with a slimy limey actor in mind but couldn't get Rickman , Oldman or Bean ( Possibly because they saw the script ? ) so a plank of wood was cast instead . In fact I felt really sorry for Mr plank because there's so many flaming explosions in this film ( That's all there is in this movie - explosions ) and I was really worried he might get turned into charcoal Which reminds me the special effects of cars , helicopters and buildings going up in flames are obviously achieved by setting fire to toys - Some child is going to be very upset on Christmas day - while the more convincing ...sorry less unconvincing effects seem to be stolen from other movies I think Despite all this I couldn't help noticing Tracy has a well developed pair of lungs so maybe her career as a singer isn't as ridiculous as it seemed at first . Tracy's lungs were the only reason I didn't off the TV

BlackWind-2001 This movie has obviously a low budget with bad bad effects. But I liked it because it was good entertaining and with a beautiful woman as Marnie Alton (Tracy) its worth seeing :)Vote : 6 (3 for entertainment 3 for Marnie).
