Tearjerker. John travolta was surprisingly solid
More emotional than I thought it was going to be, but had action, tension, romance and drama
Pretty good movie about firefighting. Very, very solid thriller.
Great depiction of the fire service and does good telling the story through flash backs. The song at the end is tear jerker
A bit intense and emotional. Not a film I'd go back to, but absolutely worth watching once.
It’s a pretty decent film and I think it was done well for not having that much of a plot.
The first half of the movie is packed with tension and firemen camaraderie. The rest is more touchy feely, but it's still a great watch!
Real dramatic but good movie. Could easily be drawn out but keeps your attention well. Solid cast and writing.
A lot of great actors in a super average movie that isn’t remarkable in any way.
Don't remember anything except that people think it's sad
