A couple of people have commented on Lori Petty's performance in Firetrap. I thought she was OK - however she was not a primary character at all in this movie, as far as I could see. I really like Lori - I thought she was superb in "Point Break". When Keanu Reeves and Lori were out on the ocean on surfboards, and Keanu's character Johnny, after a session of night surfing, says "I can't describe how I'm feeling!" Lori, in delivering her line touched the soul of every surfer when she said "You don't have to." Anyone who is over-the-top passionate about something like I am about surfing and the ocean knew EXACTLY what she meant because she so expertly delivered the line.
I really like Firetrap (I was a fireman for ten years). I can't agree that Lori was fantastic in this movie, though. It is absolutely no reflection on her, however. Her character simply was not given enough to really work with. I would fault the writers for this failing.
