The film forgot about the most important factor: Prevention

30 November 2003 | by zzmale – See all my reviews

This film deserves a perfect ten in giving a realistic depiction of rescue actions after the disaster happens, however, there is nothing about the most important factor: disaster prevention. After all, one ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. It was not the fault of the film, because Chinese law enforcement lacks the adequate prevention measures at the time, but this film does point out this fault and rises the question.
