Firestarter.
Drew Barrymore and company (David Keith, Martin Sheen, and George C Scott) star in this Stephen King adaptation.
Don’t be alarmed, I have seen this before, but not since I was younger, so when I recently saw it again, I decided to review it.
Drew can start fires, her father can Push people into doing things (basically mind control, which they call Pushing – not to be confused with the recent movie called Push – hmmmm). They are on the run from THE SHOP, scientists that wanna use them and abuse them and make them into weapons – which would be cool mind you, but Drew doesn’t wanna be a weapon, she’s a little girl!
Basically they are on the run for act 1, and act 2 they are captured and a bunch of cool stuff happens. Drew is a cutiepie in this movie and she acted really well.
There is a lot on her shoulders here. She loses her mother, she sets guys on fire, she gets taken from her dad, held hostage and then forced by the government to do experiments and not to mention that George C Scott lies to her, pretends to be her friend only to betray her later…holly crap!!!!
That’s more acting that all of the movies that came out this year combined!
Anyway, Drew makes them all pay with one hell of a fire show and basically blows up everything that can be blown up with the budget they had.
You should see/buy this movie.
4/5
