“Firestarter” (*1/2 out of four) was a fizzled remake of the 1984 cult classic about a young girl (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) with the telekinetic powers to start fires and her father (Zac Efron) who both wind up on the run from a shadowy government operation and a mysterious hitman (Michael Greyeyes) who want to capture them. Passable beginning is soon extinguished as film turns generic and tedious and even the fire scenes look tame and cheesy! Re-watch the original or go have a fire drill instead.
