Backdraft
Description
The story tells about the men and their ghastly fury as the novice firefighter tries to gain respect for his older brother and other firefighters while he is involved in a series of arson and murder. The film seems to have a real look at the suffering that firefighters face, particularly naturally occurring in the area of fireworks and other influences.

Backdraft may not be a very good movie, but it sure is great entertainment.

Ron Howard's film is one of smoke-eaters, crispers, and torches... and it bestows a renewed respect on a profession all too often taken for granted.

Visually speaking, the film does pretty well with fire-as-spectacle, less well with everything else (Howard tends to trot out fuzzy-toned Spielbergian backlighting on any pretext).

The fire sequences are stunning, and the build-up to them, complete with blaring sirens and bellowed conversations, has an aggressive immediacy.

...a top-notch thriller trapped within a poorly-paced and needlessly bloated piece of work...

Backdraft has some of the raw filmmaking excitement that has been missing from Howard's recent work.

Absolutely fantastic setpieces strung along an absolutely dimwitted script.

The spectacular fire sequences, which must have been hellish to film, are powerfully enveloping on screen, thanks especially to the eerie effect of the title.

Ron Howard popcorn-muncher is sappy, not smokin'.

Visually, pic often is exhilarating, but it's shapeless and dragged down by corny, melodramatic characters and situations.

Backdraft is sure to do for fire what The Poseidon Adventure did for water.
