Flashburn

There is no doubt that this could have been a really good movie. With the current situation of several pandemic strains in the world, what seemed like an unlikely situation for humanity, the background of this movie seems quite possible today.

Sean Patrik Flanery is acting above everyone else in the movie, and he have clearly become an AAA actor and even better since the days as Indiana Jones.

The music is awesome, and it was a good idea to spend some extra money of the budget to get a known composer that could capture the mood of the story.

I loved the couple of twists and turns and they capture the slight panic, doubts and handicap of someone with memory loss.

Now , why the low score ?

Everything else in the movie screams " low budget ". I looks like a weekend project by a film student. They clearly had to cut scenes and places to film, by budget reasons, but that means that some dialogue in the beginning of the movie, doesn´t really add up as there probably were some actions scenes that had to be cut. The CGI is also really bad by 1995 standard, even worse today.

The acting was terrible, the writing was weak and cliche, and the characters were shallow and empty. This was a complete waste of time and money. "Open the bay doors, HAL". "I can't do that, Dave." "Daisy, Daisy, tell me your answer, please." Just nonsense.

Director Giorgio Serafini's Flashburn is an action packed sci-fi thriller that will have you gripping with suspense. Dr. Wes Conan's ( Sean Flannery) world is turned upside-down after an accident leaves him suffering from severe memory loss. He soon learns that the fate of the nation is depending on him to find the cure for a viral epidemic that only he knows. This film is an intense race against time that sucks you in from start to finish. The labyrinth nature of the plot keeps you begging for answers and if you're anything like me you'll start to yell at your TV. If you don't mind suffering temporarily from high blood pressure than Flashburn is a film you need to see!

This is a cool flick. Some of the gun flashes look hokey, but the overall feel of the the film was interesting and worth the watch.

I just watched this movie and wasn't sure what to expect, but loved it. It was a ride worth taking! Very good storytelling. The acting was great, especially the lead actor. I would highly recommend this movie.
