As low-rent and derivative as a knock-off can possibly be - which is both a good thing and bad. But mostly bad.

This film... it has a certainly quality that makes you keep watching... until it shows a certain lack of quality and you realise you are never getting that hour in your life back. Its boiling... why is everyone still wearing jackets and 3 layers? arhhh, ok, well at least its all over now.

The movie lacks focus and direction, it doesn't know whether to be an action film, disaster film or thriller. It focuses too much on the action and drama, not enough on the disaster aspect. okay acting.
