    A Roller Coaster Ride For The Whole Family
    In addition to being for the entire family, Firewalker is a roller coaster ride that will leave you wanting more. Hold on to your seats, folks, because this movie's actions sequences will leave you breathless. It has it's highs and lows -- it's ups and downs. And at the end, you may not be able to say that you can walk through fire, but at least you'll be able to say that you've seen the firewalker.

    And don't take my word for it! The Sixty Second Review called it "Dazzling" and "Action-packed."

    Go out and rent it today!
