inferno give los angeles what it deserve a baptism in fire and death from above . an excellent cast of obsessed character could survive and sweat out the passing of the coronal mass ejection but that would be no fun and certainly not dramatic . a really lame review in variety criticize the character for be concern with their personal redemption instead of ban together to save the world . but what refresh about this big heat be that there nothing anyone can do about it . we be and therefore and mercifully not subject to heart warm scene of fascist president and other big blowhard statists a they contrive implausible plot to save a chosen remnant of mankind ( ala deep impact ) . here the sweat drench and lust power dirty half dozen work out their own redemption or face their personal oblivion the old fashioned way together a individual or . alone with the alone . excellent tv film all in all . clearly not denature by the destructive meddlesomness of overzealous network exec . i highly recommend .
