Fiery drama that's a bit of a disaster

IT'S almost ironic that The Pang Brothers' new film Out of Inferno is a disaster movie because that's also quite an apt description for the 3D fire-fighting drama.

The twins have struggled to find another hit after shooting to fame with the 2002 supernatural thriller The Eye and, here, it's out of the fire and into the frying pan as Inferno's plot leaves viewers cold.

The only thing sizzling in Out of Inferno is the chemistry of its leading men: Louis Koo and Lau Ching Wan have collaborated over a dozen times and try their best to breathe life into their one-dimensional characters.
