Summary: A Real Firefighter's Nightmare
Review: This has got to be the absolutely worst movie ever made. We hardly need the general public thinking that this is what firefighting is about or that this is how it what we really do. Anyone who knows anything about firefighting will be sorely disappointed. It would make a great addition to any instructor's library when covering the DO NOT's of PPE and SCBA. Added to a horrible storyline, acting, and effects, during most of the movie, you see firefighters running around without SCBA or proper PPE--maybe the production company was just too cheap to buy them. Only later in the movie when the National Guard shows up do we see SCBA, but even they do not have the facepieces. The front cover is very decieving--we see a trio of firefighters standing in front of a huge flame. The amount of firefighting actually seen in the move is minimal, at best. What is seen represents only the worst of firefighting technique. I highly recommend that NO ONE buy this movie for anyone who knows even the slightest bit about what firefighting really involves.

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This is easily the greatest movie I have ever seen! Never before have I laughed so hard or spent so much time saying, "What in the...." The story line is so well conceived, and I think the one described on the back of the box would make a great movie as well (since it has nothing to do with what actually happens in this movie). I remember watching "Outbreak" and then it's comedy counterpart, "Virus." Well this movie movie is easily the "Virus" to "Backdraft." Seriously, rent this movie if you are a fan of "Ace Ventura" or "American Pie" because you will laugh harder than you ever have before. Now I gotta go spontaneously combust like half the people in this movie!!!

Summary: this movie stinks!!!
Review: This is the most unrealistic movie I've seen with horrid special effects. There were some effects that were good but they went too far overboard on the dramatics of things blowing up, people falling from heights, and of course explosions. The best thing I can compare this to would be the original godzilla, only godzilla has better effects, and was more believable than this movie. I could only watch 1/2 the movie before I had to shut it off. If you still have a morbid desire to buy this movie do yourself a favor and rent it ...
