PU! This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen! So, why did I sit thru it you may ask? Well, action star Gary Daniels is easy on the eyes and I love his accent! Other than that, there wasn't much to keep me interested. The special effects were poor and the camera work jumped from all over the place and scene to scene. Maybe to cover up the poor effects. As impossible as it may seem, the writing was even worse. A convoluted, confusing plot line that truly made no sense. Why during an earthquake would you be inside a restaurant shooting at foreign spies? I'm not even sure what country they were supposed to be from. Wouldn't you want to get your tail out of the building! And speaking of buildings, I thought all structures built in LA had been retro-fitted since the 1970's. Apparently, nobody told the screenwriter that! Otherwise, why were brand new buildings toppling over into each other after a relatively small quake (at least for CA). Too many strings left hanging. What happened to the old man in the elevator? Did Robyn ever get back to see her father? Did Brad get to see his father? Too much time spent on poorly choreographed chases and gun fights and not enough time spent on getting to know the characters and dealing with the quake.
