Film Review - The Quake
December 12, 2018
Having beaten Hollywood at their own disaster movie game with 2015’s “The Wave,” Norway is trying to keep momentum going, ordering up a sequel in “The Quake.” It’s not the riskiest step in national filmmaking, but there’s no reason to leave money on the table, especially when the formula for this style of storytelling works, at least better than recent American subgenre offerings. “The Quake” collects a new director in John Andreas Andersen, but the rest of the gang returns for a fresh round of destruction, with the action this time surveying the horrors of earthquakes in the big city, gifting the main characters all new survival challenges. The reunion is unexpected and welcome, with “The Quake” staying patient with characterization and ferocious with calamity, making for proper nail-biting chiller. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
