Movie Reviews of Backdraft

Movie Review: A little over the top, but entertaining as Hell.
Summary: 5 Stars

Ron Howard is a genius people. Not only did he get a Baldwin to finally act, he captured the grit and pain of firefighting. Yeah, we all know you can't see crap in a fire but for smoke and black, but hey it is a movie. If you didn't well up for a sec at the end of this, you have no heart or was sleeping. Wish Universal would remaster this, get the picture better, dts would be nice, and add some extras, overall a hell of an entertaining film. Kurt Russell is awesome in this, the man can act, check out Escape from New York, Tombstone or The Thing to see what I mean.

Movie Review: Simply Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

Backdraft is a great one great film. Outstanding visual effects make this one a must watch. Kurt Russel, and William Baldwim play the McCaffery brothers, Robert DeNiro, and Donald Sutherland support, a great cast. Ronnie Howard's best film ever right next to Apollo 13. The sound on the dvd is excellent as all the explosions surround you with bass. However on the picture quality is where it lacks. Lots of grain, dark scenes look horundous. It's all good, great movie!

Movie Review: Great Special Effects
Summary: 5 Stars

The story alone is very good (the culprit is not quite who you would expect), but the effects are great. This does for fire what "The Abyss" does for water. The "monster" has a life of its own and can be captivating. The personal level interaction is very good and sibling rivalries are presented well. Touches many emotional aspects while still entertaining technically. This should be in your top 100 "must see" movies.

Movie Review: Backdraft ..
Summary: 5 Stars

I own Backdraft, and have watched it many times . Though it grows older in age, the plot and just movie in general are timeless . If you aren't sure about buying it , at least rent it . You'll buy it anyway . The tough relationship between the two McCaffrey brothers after their father's death has it's ups and downs throughout the movie, and fires . I highly recommend it .

Movie Review: Best FireFighter movie i've seen....
Summary: 5 Stars

Its about two brothers who are FireFighters in Chicargo that battle each other and at the same time try to find an Arsonist... Its a very well done movie with great Special Effects. Ron H. Is a great director in my mind and this movie just proves my case.
