Firequake (2014 TV Movie)
8/10
Nifty disaster thriller
3 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
A new clean energy source called Helios has unfortunate side effects: After it seeps into the earth's core, it causes seriously destructive fires and earthquakes. It's up to Helios creator Eve Carter (a fine performance by Alexandra Paul) to figure out a way to resolve the situation before it's too late.

Director Geoff Browne relates the engrossing story at a constant pace, takes time to develop the characters, generates a good deal of tension, and stages the exciting action with aplomb. The solid acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Zoe Barker as Eve's bitter estranged teenage daughter Nikki, Nigel Barber as evil and greedy corporate executive Declan Glas, James Weber Brown as the dutiful Killian, Kicker Robinson as the panic-stricken Copper, Kirsty Mitchell as the perky Slater Cappilla, and Derek Morse as the helpful Captain Hill. A cool little flick.
