LITTLE MERIT IN ROUTINE PRODUCTION........2005-05-05

Popular "country music" performer Barbara Mandrell makes an inauspicious feature film debut, in this work made for television, as Kate Bishop, a federal agency geologist assigned to assist residents of an imaginary town: Vashti, Tennessee (actually filming is at Lake City in eastern Tennessee's Appalachian region) in relocating from their homes endangered by the potential of gas explosions due to underground fires within coal mines beneath the town and, while performing her duties, she discovers a possible conspiracy organized by a local businessman, using the blazes for his own profit and thereby altering the focus of Kate's Function. Her perspective shifts as well by an immediate romantic involvement with the local fish and game warden, played blandly by Tom Wopat, and as the television pedigree of the piece becomes increasingly evident, so does choppy editing and general technical mediocrity, with a script lacking in logic, continuity flaws abounding, and pedestrian playing, notably by the pleasant but wooden Mandrell, although there is role commitment from always reliable Carol Kane who gathers in acting honours in what is ultimately a trite and forgettable affair. The DVD is identical to the VHS version with no added features.

Description

The biggest domestic terrorist threat in this country comes from the radical fringes of the so-called earth liberation and animal liberation movements, the FBI says. Members of these organizations have been using vandalism and arson to intimidate those who build condos or experiment on animals. But one member tells Ed Bradley they shouldn't stop there. Dr. Jerry Vlasak says there might be a time when his movement will have to take a life to make its point.
