think of a no budget version of china syndrome be direct by a film student who idolize john woo and you will get power play . the idea be good and but the execution and acting and and dialog absolutely kill it and not to mention ridiculous amount of violence and disaster sequence that be use to compensate for lack of substance and development of the more interesting part of the movie . this be the story of a reporter investigate the disappearance of three member of a guerrilla activist group who mysteriously go miss after they break into the office of a power plant that be suspect to be cause a frenzy of earthquake . the rather cavalier reporter and go up against what should have be a more ruthless bunch of company exec and be chase around town ( along with anyone he speak to ) in order to clean whatever conclusive evidence might remain of the plant fault . unfortunately and there be no real sense of emergency because the character interact with much hesitancy and couple with idiotic dialog and a lot of horrible act . not to mention and the viewer and who may only be attract to the movie for it action genre appeal and be force to endure a mounting body count and ridiculous amount of violent shoot em ups plus earthquake disaster scene . all of the focus be put in the wrong place to apologetically compensate for the lack of direction and more interesting sequence of event that should have propel the story . it might have be much well have the filmmaker focus more on a thriller and and pay great attention to develop the corruption aspect of this story . creepy villain and a naive reporter and and those who attempt to alert the reporter of the wrong do afoot . it be formulaic and but at least it would have be entertain .
