Firebreather is a film with a unique visual flair, a well-trod
coming-of-age plot, and a number of bizarre choices that led us to a
mixture of amusement and bemusement. You wouldn’t expect a straight-to-TV
movie to go through too many drafts, but the sheer number of strange
choices make for a movie that alternately bored us and gave us whiplash. Oh
well, at least we always have dodgeball.
