Reviews
Manthast Absolutely amazing
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Fieldsp341 I disagree with the comment mentioned here. I believe Killer Flood: The Day The Dam Broke is a very good, made for television movie. I think the plot was well established and made clear from the beginning, as was who is the good guy, and who is the bad guy. Bruce Boxleitner plays the bad guy well. I was elated when the dam bursts and floods him in his car because I felt he got what he deserved for his devious acts that basically caused the dam to burst. I found Joe Lando and Michelle Green had lots of chemistry between them and I really wanted them to find their way back to each other through all the turmoil. And I found the acting to be very believable by all. Especially when David Powell (Joe) and his son, Garth were trapped in the rising water and David had to revive his son. I found this movie to be smart and exciting. I recommend it to all.
drew-121 What a dreadful movie. The effects were poor, especially by todays standards, but that was forgivable. What was unforgivable was the terrible rehashing of every flood/dam breaks disaster movie ever made into this piece of trash. The acting was awful and I mean AWFUL. The point in the story where Michelle Green stops to rescue a dog from the approaching torrent was hilarious. They see the water approaching and run for their lives. (By the way they had to find a very old fat dog so as to not make Ms Green look to unfit). They manage to outpace the water for some time before taking refuge. What speed! Later, a speeding car is not fast enough to escape the torrent. God, she and that dog did run fast! If you want to watch a good movie about a dam breaking - this isn't it. Porchlight Entertainment turn out some good family films but this time they just missed the mark.
gilez66857 This movie awesome. The special effects are so real looking. The storyline was spot on, but how many times has this plot has this same plot been done? Mayor's hubby aka town reject warns the town of there impending doom. nobody trusts him, then, ta da! the town goes bye-bye. It happened in Dante's Peak (well, the reject was the mayors hubby, he was " just a friend") still i loved it.
