A young girl tries to understand how she mysteriously gained the power to set things on fire with her mind. Drama,Horror,Sci-Fi Firstarter Is far to much of slog to recommended. I never thought a movie where a girl blasts fire and runs from the government would be so boring. I really did enjoy John Carpenter's score. That is unfortunately all I liked. The effects while shiny and new but don't have to pop they need to be truley riveting and seem real and the acting from all the other actors was awful. The diolouge is also very poor The worst part about Firestarter is how boring to watch it is You don't really care what's going on and that is a crime for a movie.
