Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Pretty Good
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
None of the actors/actresses in this movie were particularly bad. The worst part of the movie was that is was so formulaic typical of made-for-TV disaster dramas. A lead-in family/romantic plot, the disaster, then the subsequent rescue with requisite human drama unfolding during the crisis. In this movie, the lead role is played by Mimi Rogers, who is the newly-minted mine supervisor who is taking the job over from her father. Her husband, and son, are both miners, and as expected, are both trapped in the mine when the cave-in occurs. Unlike an airplane, earthquake, or fire disaster type of movie, there is no real special effects here. Just your typical OH-MY-GOD I can't believe it happened type of movie. It a decent to good movie for those that like the disaster genre, average for movie in general overall.
