Fire Down Below

If you've ever, and I do mean ever, tuned in to TBS, you've seen this film...perhaps more times than you've cared to, so I won't waste much time telling you what it is about. Steven Segal grabs his saw (and even a gee-tar) and his enviromentalist's hat and gets his good ol' boy on. In the process....many cars get smashed all to shit, lots of stuff blows up and plenty of bones with funny Latin names get shattered as does the jaded icey exterior of our female lead, portrayed here by the lovely Marg Helgenberger. Levon Helm plays a reverand which is great for a hoot and Kris Kristofferson scowls away in yet another great villian role. Country stars Marty Suart, Travis Tritt and Randy Travis (geeze....think there might be a connection there?) put in some fine cameo work in what is really a great overall action flick. Say what you may about Segal and his personal life but the man always delivers the good on screen and here he is on the very top of his game.
Be sure to watch right to end to see Harry Dean Stanton steal the whole movie with a truly heart warming scene before the credits role.
