Chain Reaction: 5/10

"Chain Reaction" is an Australian action movie that I think is best described as a mixed bag.Some scenes are very interesting and intriguing, and other scenes are very dull and boring. Same thing goes for the action sequences, which were exciting half the time, and wearisome the other half.The best parts of the movie come from its unique, eerie, and electronic soundtrack and sound effects. Also, the acting was pretty good for the most part.Overall, it's at least watchable. I'd recommend it. 5/10.Lastly, if you disagree with the opinions stated here, that's completely okay, and you're entitled to your own.

Aussie action thriller.

After being contaminated when an earthquake causes a leak at a waste management plant, an engineer, Heinrich, realizes he has to warn the public. The company is more interested in protecting their interests, though, and thugs pursue Heinrich when he goes on the run.Heinrich stumbles upon the home of Larry and Carmel, where he collapses. Carmel is a nurse and takes care of Heinrich, although Larry doesn't trust him. Larry is a mechanic and fast driver, and his skills are put to the test when their lives are endangered. In the process, Larry becomes the film's action hero.Heinrich is suffering from temporary memory loss. He remembers he had to warn people of an impending disaster, but can't recall what it entails. To make matters worse, he doesn't have much time with the radiation consuming him. The film becomes an action-packed race against time to warn the public.I must be honest, there were times when I had a difficult time trying to understand what was actually going on. In general, the movie was entertaining enough and I enjoyed the good car chase climax.Steve Bisley stars as Larry, and the film uses every excuse to show off his lean, hairy body - and I'm certainly not complaining!
