Firestarter (out May 12) is based on a Stephen King book (some will also remember the 1984 film) and revolves around a young girl with the power to create fire. It's surprising how little story there is here. Did a bunch of stuff get left on the cutting room floor? A very standard run-and-chase movie. Grade: C.
