Viewing Notes

This might be one of the movies most emblematic of the 1990s era of Hollywood movie making. Ridiculous in almost every way, including the unlikely pairing of Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche. No one’s stretching their acting abilities in this one; just all balls of crazy frenetic energy and crazy disaster spectacle to keep you distracted. Makes me want to revisit SAN ANDREAS, hahaha!

From the director of THE BODYGUARD, L.A. STORY, and… THREADS! Wow.
