I've always loved this film, hence why I bought it. Already had it on Video and thought I'd replace it with a dvd. I like Kurt Russell and William Baldwin, they are great actors. This film is full of action and suspense, fire scenes are good and realistic. A film definately to watch, definately a 10/10 score if I could give it higher I would.
Being a fireman is just like belonging to a football team, or so screenwriter Gregory Widen would have us believe. 'You dropped the ball, you split the team up,' says scornful firefighter Stephen McCaffrey (Russell) to his rookie brother (Baldwin). As though sibling rivalry was not enough, Widen (an ex-firefighter) lumbers the plot with unnecessary complications and obvious confrontations: an investigator (De Niro) is on the trail of a skilful arsonist, the squabbling brothers have troubled romances. Ron Howard creates some promo-style sequences that would look more at home in a Gillette advert, but he does a superb job with the ultra-realistic effects. The fire sequences are stunning, and the build-up to them, complete with blaring sirens and bellowed conversations, has an aggressive immediacy.Read full review
we are currently swapping all our remaining videos for dvds, we had this originally on video and it was one i wanted to replace as it is an extremely good drama about firefighters, their profession and their personal life, vocational and compelling with some excellent actors.
An Excellent all round movie, Kurt Russel, William Baldwin and Robert De Niro star in this fantastic and very real account of fire fighters as they face the everyday fires and its dangers. A must see movie
Fab dvd
