Ablaze (2002)

ablaze is absolutely the wort movie i've seen in years. it is so bad that it comes close to being a parody. but parodies were meant to be absurd, the worst thing about ablaze is that it actually tries to be a serious action movie. i wonder whether the director/producer hung himself after seeing the end result. he should be banned from any film studio for the rest of his life!there is totally nothing positive to mention about this movie: camera-work is a drama. action scenes are totally absurd. the acting is below every possible standard, the average commercials actors, selling loans, is doing a better job than these people. the movie is loaded with bloopers, all over the place.this movie trying to be serious is an absolute insult to the viewer's intelligence, even if the viewer is a complete moron.watching this movie is an absolute waste of time, you could just as well stick your head into the sand for an hour and a half!

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.

It could be a very lame poor parody of fire disaster films, but has not a jot of wit or intelligence.Poor camera work - some of it lifted from stock footage or other movies.Acting is incredibly lame.Scripting abysmal.Direction atrocious.Everything about this movie sucks big time.Whoever participated should be ashamed, and should be banned from movies for ever! One of the worst - no redeeming features.2 stars for some interesting pictures of 1960s fire engines.

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!
