Running Time : 90 mins

Whilst on holiday in Chile, a group of tourists find their lives in terrible danger when an earthquake hits. Initially some are killed, and the quakes subside, but as a result a local prison is damaged and all of the criminals escape, leaving the surviving tourists wondering which will kill them first; the quakes or the criminals?

To be honest, this could have been worse, but rather annoyingly the makers decided that a natural disaster wasn’t enough to play with, and instead through in a prison break to make things even harder for the cast of characters. This starts off looking like a rip off of The Hangover, even having one cast member looking almost exactly like Zach Galifianakis (which may or may not be intentional), but after about half an hour when the nightclub starts to cave in, events turn to disaster for everyone involved. This is worth watching if you like disaster movies, but be warned that this is over the top nonsense at best.
