This February is \u201cFrame of Reference\u201d month at Catching Up On Cinema!

\n

All month long, Trevor and Kyle will be reviewing films that have frequently been referenced in recent episodes of the podcast.

\n

This week, Trevor and Kyle review Felix Enriquez Alcala's, Fire Down Below (1997)!

\n

One of Steven Seagal's last major theatrical releases, Fire Down Below (1997) is an environmentally conscious action-thriller set in rural Kentucky.

\n

Featuring a host of country music star cameos, including celebrated singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson as the chief antagonist, Fire Down Below is a cozy, but not especially thrilling watch.

\n

Apparently both gutted, and neutered in post-production, Fire Down Below is short on action, and long on down-home Appalachian charm.

\n

With beautiful locations and scenery, and capable performances from everyone in the cast not named \u201cSeagal,\u201d with a few more aikido flips and a little less \u201cgeetar\u201d strumming, Fire Down Below could perhaps have been considered one of the few truly \u201cgood\u201d Steven Seagal films, however sadly, it was not meant to be.
