As The Light Goes Out
Whereas three old friends work together in a fire station in Hong Kong, a fire breaks out in a rundown residential block on Christmas Eve, threatening to plunge the whole city into darkness if it spreads to a to a nearby power plant supplying natural gas. Politics, competition and distrust between the firemen of the Pillar Point Division are to be expected.

As the Light Goes Out shows promise early on, but replaces any potential with cliché story points, flat characters, and utter predictability. The film is unfortunately a disappointing disaster film effort despite its talented cast.
