ABLAZE at first seems like a decent, big budget disaster movie until you realise that half the footage has been stolen from other, better movies. Things begin with a blistering car chase lifted from STRIKING DISTANCE before the plot moves into a straight copy of the underrated '70s film CITY ON FIRE, complete with an oil refinery blaze and a rescue-the-patients hospital climax. Not that we should expect much better from director Jim Wynorski, who takes plagiarism to new levels here. Despite the presence of various briefly-used guest stars, the only decent bits of this film are those stolen from prior, better movies, so you'd be better off sticking with them.
score 3/10
