The Overview:\u00a0 Beware of spoilers…<\/p>\n
Andy McGee (Efron), his wife Vicky (Lemmon) and their daughter Charlie (Armstrong) are living off the grid.\u00a0 Andy and Vicky were part of an experimental drug test conducted by a secret government organization.\u00a0 Andy gained telepathic powers, and Vicky developed telekinesis. Charlie was born with the ability to cause objects to burst into flame. Her ability is becoming more powerful and Charlie hasn’t yet learned to control it.\u00a0 The organization is looking for them to take advantage of their powers.<\/p>\n
When Charlie is bullied at school, she runs to the bathroom in an attempt to control the fire she feels coming.\u00a0 Her rage at being picked on causes a flame burst that school officials think was a small explosion set off by Charlie.\u00a0 This incident brings Charlie and her family to the attention of the secret government agency.\u00a0 They send Rainbird (Greyeyes), to bring back the girl even if it means killing her parents.\u00a0 Things are about to heat up…<\/p>\n
Firestarter<\/em> (2022) doesn’t hold a candle to the 1984 version.\u00a0 Before Andy uses his telepathic powers he does an exaggerated neck crack which just comes off as silly.\u00a0 Charlie is made less sympathetic when she accidentally unleashes her fire burst and roasts a cat.\u00a0 We see the cat badly burned and then Charlie is told to put it out of it’s misery, so she lights the cat up again.\u00a0 We hear a final cry from the cat.\u00a0 Charlie accidentally sets her mom on fire and then later tells her dad, “I meant it to be you.”\u00a0 The movie ends — big spoiler alert — with Charlie willingly going off with Rainbird, the man who brutally killed her mother, captured her father which lead to his death, and forced Charlie to kill many folks who worked for the organization.<\/p>\nUsually movies I watch all the way through earn at least a two star rating.\u00a0 Sadly, Firestarter<\/em> (2022) doesn’t.<\/p>\nFirestarter <\/strong><\/em>earns 1 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_f.png\")
