  If you're playing with fire your gonna get burned

  1. This is a very low budget move.
  
  2. You'd be wrong to dismiss it, because of this.
  
  Ray Liotta stars as a fire chief trying to stop an arsonist who is setting the city alight.
  
  Hence the usual good guy chases bad guy, until they kidnap his wife and the good guy kills the baddie, maybe with a pay off line of 'Smoking it's bad for your health.
  
  Wrong, this has actually got a twist. I won't spoil it by revealing the twist but it's watchable, not overly long and the acting is solid. Recommended for a lonely, rainy night.
