If it sounds like every other disaster movies plot… Well, it is.
This isnt a story from the mind of Billy Wilder or Robert Towne.
The same holds true forTwisters.
At the same time, how can anyone root for these fools?
Isnt that what they should be like in disaster movies, though?
Imagine how boring these films would be if everyone did the responsible thing and followed instructions.
