Well, what can I say, City on Fire is no Towering Inferno. Instead of putting the characters in a cramped space with no escape, the filmmakers chose the open setting of an entire area of a burning city and then immediately looked for convoluted ways to get the characters into cramped situations. That is certainly not a good way to build tension. Still, at least a thumbs up for the sincere effort and practical special effects. ()
