Dante's Peak 4K 1997

Back in 1997, a scene stuck in my memory in which a car, blazing almost like a torch, tried to drive through hot volcanic lava. Recently, remembering this, I found this film...

There are not many films about such disasters. And there is no point in comparing it to apocalyptic Hollywood films. This work is different in its tension. Even assuming that nothing will happen to the main characters, your heart still races when you see a car stuck in mud while crossing a river, or a boat with people sitting in water that has turned into acid. You don't know what will happen next: will they survive? The most tense moment for me was the scene at the end of the film where Pierce Brosnan's character is trapped in a car. You project the situation onto yourself and get goosebumps: you're in a mine that's about to collapse, with a broken arm with bone sticking out, climbing into the car with a flashlight, and rocks are falling from above, pressing the roof into the seats. And seeing that there is not even room to turn around, you feel fear...

The casting for the main roles is quite good. Doesn't Linda Hamilton look like a fragile woman? Her character is the mayor who raised her hometown. She doesn't have to be feminine and needy.

Is Pierce Brosnan only Bond and nothing else? But wait: he played a scientist in The Lawnmower Man, and quite well. He has a pleasant appearance and is a good actor. Why does he have to be Agent 007? He did a very good job with the role.
