Wilder Napalm (1993)

Forgotten black comedy has good special effects but tiresome story

[5/10 · 2 December 2017]

Good special effects and spectacular pyrotechnics fight against a long, pointless, tiresome story (there is a sequence in the movie that's a good metaphor for it - a character drives a lawnmower machine round and round and round without going anywhere). The cast is talented, but some "quirky" touches (the singing firemen) add little. I must mention that Debra Winger had guts to do the diving-from-the-roof-back-first stunt - and I'm 99% certain it was really her doing it. ** out of 4.
