rotten:
Under Henry King's direction there is little of the old Fox pep.

fresh:
With a star-filled cast and a fitful sense of drama, it's pretty much the same old recipe as the equivalent cycle of megabudget '70s exploiters, but the climactic conflagration is certainly worth the wait.

fresh:
Mr. King's direction, occasionally, is inspired, and the photography has unusual style and dramatic impact.
