Burning Rage Reviews: Enjoyable movie  2008-01-02 - I've had this movie for about 10 yrs on VHS. It's a nice little movie and I have enjoyed watching it. Barbara Mandrell does a pretty good job for her first movie. Wasn't really impressed with Tom Wopat's performance, actually some of the supporting cast is more impressive than the lead actors.
All in all, I enjoy watching it.
I'm not sure that the picture on the front of the DVD case is actually Barbara, they should have used the artwork from the VHS version.
LITTLE MERIT IN ROUTINE PRODUCTION.  2005-05-05 - Popular "country music" performer Barbara Mandrell makes an inauspicious feature film debut, in this work made for television, as Kate Bishop, a federal agency geologist assigned to assist residents of an imaginary town: Vashti, Tennessee (actually filming is at Lake City in eastern Tennessee's Appalachian region) in relocating from their homes endangered by the potential of gas explosions due to underground fires within coal mines beneath the town and, while performing her duties, she discovers a possible conspiracy organized by a local businessman, using the blazes for his own profit and thereby altering the focus of Kate's Function. Her perspective shifts as well by an immediate romantic involvement with the local fish and game warden, played blandly by Tom Wopat, and as the television pedigree of the piece becomes increasingly evident, so does choppy editing and general technical mediocrity, with a script lacking in logic, continuity flaws abounding, and pedestrian playing, notably by the pleasant but wooden Mandrell, although there is role commitment from always reliable Carol Kane who gathers in acting honours in what is ultimately a trite and forgettable affair. The DVD is identical to the VHS version with no added features.
