A fire fighter deals with the loss of three children in a forest which burnt down,as she blames herself for not being able to read the wind well. Now,she puts her life in danger in order to forget.

 

A man who knows too much ( we don't know what he knows) is trying to save himself and mostly his son,as he discovers the judge he worked for died in a gas explosion,and he knows it's more than meets the eye.

 

He was right,as two men hunt him down,and kill him in the process. Before that,he manages to give his son a letter about what happened to give to the press,and tells him to run and hide,and find someone to trust.

 

His son encounters Angelina's character by chance,and ends up trusting her, giving her the letter.

 

The bad guys, in order to create a diversion,trying to get and k!ll the kid,start a forest fire,burning half of it down,just so people wouldn't see their faces and have to k!ll them all.

 

This movie reminded me of those '90's action movies. This was one of those unique movies,as I never saw a movie with forest fires and fire fighters.

The villains were evil,doing their job without remorse,to them it was just like any other job they had to do,taking lives didn't phase them.

 

The acting was good,so was the soundtrack.

 

The movie is streaming on DirecTv, HBO Max, and is for rent or sale on Amazon Prime Video, AMC on Demand, Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
