    • Trivia
      Mardi Gras in New Orleans shot in Toronto in December!
    • Goofs
      New Orleans is below sea level resulting in a high water table. If you dig a hole a few feet deep it will likely fill with water. Yet in this movie the tunnels are 60-feet below ground and are bone dry despite being well below the water table.

    Typical TV disaster movie, no surprise.
    This movie suffers from the typical TV disaster movie formula. One man is trying to save an entire city, constantly working against self-serving politicians. The plot is totally predicable and the natural disaster in this movie was laughingly unrealistic (sinkholes in New Orleans).
