Dean Semler directs Howie Long, Scott Glenn and William Forsythe in this forest fire action flick.

Hard Rain meets Backdraft. William Forsythe’s enjoyable evil, overly capable villain breaks out prison using a forest fire as his cover to disappear. Howie Long (who played American football and was unmemorable as one of John Travolta’s goons in Broken Arrow) makes his failed bid to be the next Steven Seagal. Rote dialogue, coy action, sloppy edits. Firestorm makes good on very little that it sets up and is far too orange thoughout. Has the colour palette of an Outspan and all the thrills of peeling one.
