THE CORE (Theatrical Release USA 2003)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

The Core stands above other disaster films like The Poseidon Adventure and Vertical Limit in both entertainment value and structural strength. It’s an above average movie that sports a workable casting group who perform well within the story’s entertainment boundaries. It’s great work for Director Jon Amiel.
