"Blue smoke" is a fast paced film, based on a novel of the same name written by Nora Roberts. This movie has ingredients of mystery and romance, and is likely to please those that are just looking for entertainment.
The main character is Reena (Alicia Witt), a young woman that doesn't like fire but decides to turn into an arson investigator in order to fight her fear. Things aren't easy for her, though, as she loses people she cares about to fire. Traumatized, Reena begins to suspect that a pyromaniac is stalking her, waiting to kill the people she loves. But is Reena right, or is her imagination too active?
All in all, I think that "Blue smoke" is a movie you shouldn't miss if you are a fan of Robert's books, and one you will probably like if you are not. From my point of view, this is not an outstanding film, but I believe it is good enough to engage your attention, and keep it. That is the reason why I give "Blue smoke" 3.5 stars.

Reena (Katarina) Hale (Alicia Witt) watches in fascination as her parents' pizzeria, Siroco's, burns down, unaware at the time of the consequences. At this point she decides she wants to be a fire-fighter when she grows up. She becomes even more determined to pursue this career after incidents that happen to her in college. Her boyfriend Josh (John Reardon) is burnt to death in his apartment - seemingly an accident caused by the lighted candles he used. In school she was bullied by Joey Pastorelli. Her father had an argument with Joe Pastorelli Sr. about this and he is subsequently arrested for the pizzeria fire. Reena is now a fire investigator working for the police under the mentorship of John Minger (Scott Bakula). When her next boyfriend is also killed in an explosion she begins to have her suspicions that these are not accidents, especially when a matchbook from Sirico's is found in the debris. She moves into a house next to carpenter Bo Goodnight (Matthew Settle) who has been smitten with Reena since College. As they develop a relationship, Bo's truck gets blown up and again a Sirico's matchbook is found in the remains. This is quite an exciting thriller, though the conclusion seems inevitable as the story develops.

As the DVD back cover says, 'This movie has passion, family food and fire.' And they were correct. Alicia Witt stars as Reena who at the age of eleven watches with fascination as her parents business burns to the ground. When the fire is put out she meets Scott Bakula's character, Officer John Minger, that is an arson investigator. So it is no surprise as we flash forward and we see that she has become an arson investigator herself.
There is the requisite romance required for these made for T.V. movies. But in this movie our heroine seems to have attracted the attention of a psychotic arsonist who seems determined to set on fire everything she loves. Will she be able to find this pyromaniac before her new love goes up in flames? The movie also touches on the importance of a arson investigators job.

Blue Smoke
This film was very enjoyable and has quite a different story for a change. It arrived on time and was packaged well.
