Reviews:
“To Robertson’s credit, the dialogue is a bit better than usual for one of these films, but that doesn’t change the fact that there’s way too much of it […] And, adding insult to injury, the few effects we do get are weak. There’s a horrible shot of a plane making a hard landing, and the tsunami scenes end as the waves reach shore, so we don’t see any destruction.” ★½ Voices from the Balcony
