Review of Reign of Fire (2002) by Adriano B — 29 Oct 2009
Shot on location in Ireland but looking every bit the post-apocalyptic popcorn muncher, 'Reign of Fire' is another worthy addition to the fantasy/action genre. Inevitably the plot is secondary to the dragons, but Bowman does a fine job with the tension, building up the back story and then plunging you straight into the clash of egos between Bale's Quinn and McConaughey's Van Zan.
The ending though feels rushed and predictable and both Bale and McConaughey deserved the scope to really let the sparks fly.
