Firestarter Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Mark L. Lester
Genres: Science Fiction
Rating:
Firestarter is based on a bone-chilling novel by Steven_King. Drew_Barrymore plays Charlie McGee the young daughter of Andrew (David_Keith) and Vicky (Heather_Locklear) McGee, who years earlier had been guinea pigs for a top secret experiment. As a result, Charlie has acquired the unenviable ability to start fires simply by thinking about fires. Charlie is pursued over hill and dale by The Shop, a secret government organization bent upon using her skills for nefarious purposes. The special effects are undeniably startling, even when the script and dialogue are straight out of the funny papers (it's hard to keep a straight face during the New_York_Times final shot!) The high-priced cast--including George_C._Scott, Art_Carney, Louise_Fletcher--seems to be having a grand ole time. Hal Erickson, Rovi
