About this movie

Drew Barrymore heads up the cast in Firestarter, the suspense-filled film based on the best-selling Stephen King novel. After college sweethearts Andrew (David Keith) and Vicky McGee (Heather Locklear) participate in a mysterious psychic experiment, they have a child, Charlie (Barrymore), who is born with the ability to start fires with her mind. Her unique pyrokinetic talent soon comes to the attention of a covert government agency known as "The Shop." Now operatives from this sinister group (Martin Sheen and George C. Scott) are out to capture nine-year-old Charlie and control her supernatural powers at all costs.

Ratings and reviews

All the cast was great in this one!,I loved everything about this movie and more. The storyline was great and there wasn't a dull moment in this movie. You also had season actors in this movie as well George C. Scott and Martin Sheen to name a few. I've seen it over and over and it never gets old. A TIMELESS CLASSIC! BRILLIANT! X MARKS THE SPOT THIS MOVIE DELIVERS!

If I can't buy the movie I don't want it. I'm not fooling around. After the play store refused to sell I bought it from Amazon for $9.99. I will continue buy video content from the playstore. But Firestarter will not be one of the titles.

Not the best Stephen King adaptation (Stephen King himself called it the worst adapted from his books), but Firestarter is still a good movie adaptation, even if it has it's flaws.
