Picture

Tidal Wave: No Escape (1997)

Action/Drama     Not Rated

Plot

When brutal tidal waves suddenly destroy many coastal communities in a short period of time, John Wahl, a nobel prize winner, is brought out of his lazy retirement and back into service as a consultant. He teams up with a Navy officer to find out the cause of the disaster. But when a ransom of one billion dollars is demanded, Wahl is the government's number one suspect.

Acting

Besides Corbin Bernsen and to a slightly lesser degree, Gregg Henry, the acting is very amatuerish and pretty pitiful.

Action

Several sequence of people fleeing from tidal waves, which also leads to much destruction in the local towns.

Sex/Nudity

None

Final Thoughts

Your typical made for TV disaster movies that features one fading star (Corbin Bernsen) and several unknown, mostly untalented actors. Also like many TV movie, the special effect are incredible inconsistent with some scenes looking borderline good, and some looking just terrible. Its very skippable, and leaves much of the be desired.
