Title: Flood<\/p>\n

Scores: Technical: 85, Story: 80, Acting: 85, Overall Score: 83<\/p>\n

Plot: Timely yet terrifying, The Flood predicts the unthinkable. When a raging storm coincides with high seas it unleashes a colossal tidal surge, which travels mercilessly down England’s East Coast and into the Thames Estuary. Overwhelming the Barrier, torrents of water pour into the city. The lives of millions of Londoners are at stake. Top marine engineers and barrier experts Rob, his ex-wife Sam and his father Leonard Morrison, have only a few hours to save the city from total devastation. A real probability in a real location. It is not a question of if, but when London floods.<\/p>\n

One might say “Flood” is merely a British take on an American disaster film, but I think it was quite enjoyable. Even with the B-movie tone, “Flood” has some pretty decent special effects, a great cast and a pretty solid story line. Director Tony Mitchell does a great job at bringing a large scale disaster film to a television miniseries. Don’t over analyze…Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.<\/p>\n

Flood airs in the US on December 16, 2007 on ION.<\/p>\n
