It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

SPOILERS SPOILERSIf your a fan of B disaster movies I cant recommend this "C" movie highly enough. Starring Adrian Paul (still looking good) ("The Highlander) as a ex special forces commando who is negotiating a big international security company deal that he is the CEO of. So he and his wife, 18 year old daughter (who is an amateur volcano and geological expert) she dresses like Lara Croft Tomb Raider (but so does every female tourist in the movie) but she has the longest legs, the lowest cut t-shirt and the shortest shorts!. Lots of overhead shots (from the viewpoint of falling ceilings) peering down her blouse. She and everyone else runs through the movie flashing the long legs and jiggling along. Obnoxious tourists get fire bombed by the Volcano etc. Paul quickly assembles a command special forces team to rescue them. His old war buddy is now the Colonel in Charge of Naples NATO base and by coincidence the Colonel is able to get old friends that everyone knows (except Lara Croft Senior) (Where did SHE come from) to help. They steal a NATO chopper. Its full of cliff hangers bad science bad history (dont try to ride out the volcano inside an old underground villa (thats what killed the Romans 2000 years ago! Lots of other B and C and D disaster movies on Amazon prime streaming

I like Adrian Paul so I suffered through this. The worst acting and special effects I have ever seen. So disappointed. The acting was so wooden and dialogue so cheesy it needed a barrel of wine to go with it. Maybe the barrel of wine would dull the pain. I am wondering how Adrian Paul and John Rhys-Davies lent their names to such an obviously subgrade project. Especially Rhys-Davies who has been in some really big blockbuster movies. What exactly is that thought process? The base material is not so bad it's a good idea, but it needed to be executed in a different manner. There were lots of holes and contradictions scientifically as well. I often wonder what actors are thinking before they take on any given project. For this one, the main motivation had to be money because I can't see any of them thinking this was a good project after a script was submitted to them.

Okay. I've been a member of IMDb for a long time but i've never written a review until now. That's because this movie is, sadly, an epic failure! i know it's a B-rated movie and i know it's a budget movie but there are so many better B-rated movies out there!! The question is, why is this one so catastrophically bad?I could not stand watching it for 30 minutes, heck it was just 13 minutes and my brain started seeping through my ears and my eyes were going half blind by what i've seen so far.DO NOT WASTE PRECIOUS TIME WATCHING THIS MOVIE....instead go and walk your dog or feed your cat or just lie down on your bed and look at the ceiling, trust me, thats a million times better.

Seriously... the acting in this pile is so wooden I half expected them to get naked and start going at it at any time.Or, actually, that is an insult to porn stars, as even they act better.Effects look like something from a 1960s movie, plot is a joke, script is a roll of toilet paper (the used kind).I guess you could sit down and watch it if you have nothing better to do with your time. Even though pretty much ANYTHING is better.Your best bet would be to drink a LOT before sitting down if you want to last more than 5 minutes. Maybe then it passes into "so bad it's funny" territory.
