“The Arsonist” (** out of four) was a flat thriller set in England in which a seasoned detective (George Everett-Burton) is teamed up with a new partner (Jonny Brookes) to take down the title mastermind criminal and they have to overcome each other’s differences and the corrupt police force to proceed. Overly solemn thriller has some good characterizations and performances but (pun intended) doesn’t catch fire as it should. Even the English scenery and surroundings look pretty drab although this isn’t bad considering it was made by 17-year olds!
