Panique à la Nouvelle-Orléans

This was a competent disaster movie, with a nail biting last 15 minutes or so.

The special effects were very good, and this type of thing could easily happen in any town or city in the world in the right conditions

I have read the other reviews and can only assume that the writers must have been watching another movie.

This was a nice, and very well made and plausible disaster movie. With a real nail biting ending.

This was certainly not a funny movie.

I rate this film 8 out of 10 easy.

I have seen all of the recent crop of disaster films and just wish they would stop making them! Sinkholes?! Tornadoes and volcanoes can be scary, but sinkholes?! I can't get past the fact that moviemakers seem to have run out of ideas. In all fairness it was a cheap TV picture, but still, sinkholes?! Besides the weak natural disaster the movie follows every formula from every other movie of this type. The lead is afraid to evacuate due to some previous mistake, yet still has time for a love interest etc...

A geology consultant(John Corbett)teams with a city official(Jessica Beauchamp)to stop a sinkhole from enveloping New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Interesting story, but not enough special effects to support it. Most interesting is Brittany Daniel the niece of Beauchamp's character. HOT. Predictable finale. Also in the cast are Eugene Clark and Ron Gabriel.

This movie seemed to be a Volcano sidekick, but after seeing it half n' half, I had to agree with myself that this was one of the funniest movies ever made... I don't know which catastrophy is worse, the movie or the one that the killer cookie dough is supposed to prevent... Someone hand me the chocolate chips, please!

This was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Too bad they weren't trying to make a comedy. I just couldn't get past the implausibility of the entire movie and the blaring inaccuracies. For example: the average elevation of New Orleans is below sea level, therefore you can't get very deep into the ground without finding water. The makers of this TV movie didn't seem to think that was important.

All in all, this was not a good movie. But at least they managed to stick every New Orleans stereotype into it and still have room for a pretty girl.
