This Canadian TV movie attempts to do a TOWERING INFERNO-type story on a very low budget and the results are unsurprisingly disastrous. The tale is about a bunch of characters trapped inside an office building which is burning down around them. Drama is added by the team of firefighters sent in to rescue them who must face their own perils while there's plenty of sentimentality from an outside character who just so happens to be giving birth while her husband is on the inside.
It's as pitiful as it sounds and a complete waste of time. If the producers really thought a low budget and CGI fire was going to cut it then they were sorely mistaken. The writing is generally poor with an overload of melodrama and sickly-sweet romantic stuff that always seems to be included just so middle-aged women can watch and weep. Needless to say there are no famous faces here. As for the peril, it's non-existent. DEADLY INFERNO? DEADLY DULL, more like.
