Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Awesome Movie

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

the spoiler is the first full sequence of the movie was better in the movie it was lifted from (bruce willis' striking distance). then there was a fire at 1313 mockingbird lane(isn't that where the munsters live). not to mention ice tea phoned in his performance, i'm sure just for the paycheck. it was almost like watching a train wreck, no matter how bad it was you look for a glimmer of hope. but alas , no glimmer of hope , no happy ending no story. i could have done better special effects with stuff from my house. actually there was one good sequence , but like i said , that was taken from another movie. and the funny thing about that was i saw striking distance one day and this looser came on the next day.

just to warn everyone how bad this "film" is. Acting, directing, make up, script... I bet even the food served to the cast and crew on set made everyone sick. The main plot and all of the sub plots suck. Nothing is logical, scenes are re-used, and mistakes are everywhere. Here are some examples from the first 30 minutes of the film:The bad guys "get away" car loses its' front bumper in a crash and then regains it. The power cord leading to the rotating red light on top of the cop car switches from inside to outside the door frame in milliseconds.The actor in the first fire stunt is so covered with protective gel he looks like "grease man." A ranging fire starts inside a bedroom so fast that only gallons of gasoline could have been responsible. A plastic toy kangaroo survives the blazing inferno for at least 10 minutes while only inches from the flames. The "firemen" all run into the inferno without masks, oxygen, or even gloves. Then they stroll about perfectly upright throughout the blazing structure as without a care in the world. One actor falls down and barely bumps his head and then everyone expects him to die. Which he does, but only after a twenty minute death bed confession. It goes on and on and on. See how many you can spot.So bad it is almost funnyI have to turn off the TV and go to work now, thank God.Mike

This movie is a page out of movie history, it first came out as 'Striking distance' the cop car chase scene in the beginning is exactly the same as the chase scene in 'Striking distance' complete with the cars rolling down the embankment at the end of the chase (I thought the bad guy was going to get out and shoot Ice T). Oh by the way, what happens to Ice T later on in the movie? . Then as the movie progresses, it turns into 'City on fire' a disastrous disaster movie from 1979 complete with scenes right out of 'City of fire'. I mean the actual scenes in 'City on fire' were cut and pasted into 'Ablaze'. Like the scene where the nurse opens the closet door and gets smoked. I wonder how they got away with that? I was waiting for Shelly Winters to make a cameo. (They could of cut and pasted her to!). What a Bomb!

Not only did they lift scenes from City on Fire but the opening chase sequence was lifted from the Bruce Willis movie Striking Distance!This movie was probably the worst movie I have seen.This movie belongs in the bargain bin at Wal Mart, ummm... better yet it belongs in the trash.
