Reviews for Fire Down Below
Top CriticA real pleasant surprise with a less brash, more likable Seagal. Manages to show a genuine affection for the kind of rural folks elitist Hollywood usually ridicules.

Fire Down Below is an action film that's deadly slow and stupid -- like most of the mountain people portrayed in the film.

This is sub-par Seagal, which puts it down below just about everything else.

The acting is wooden (Seagal gets more zombie-like with each film), the writing is ridiculous and the fight scenes are redundant.
