I don't normal write reviews for movies but this one is worth it. I have never seen a true story quite like this one. It takes you through all the emotions and hits you where it hurts. It really gives you an insight to what fire fighters do for the community and country. So worth the watch couldn't recommend it anymore!
True story well directed... you connect to all the characters and family by end of the movie. It's so realistic great job
Great all the way, how the director made os feel almost as heart breaking and intense as a good war movie, but with fire fighters :) Woth the 2h30 run time !!
My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. It is based on real people and real events from just a few years ago so it is very authentic. Never before had a municipal fire crew been certified as a hot shot crew, assigned to the most demanding situations. Josh Brolin as Eric Marsh leads the efforts to recruit, equip, and train the guys to accomplish this. One of his recruits is Miles Teller as Brendan McDonough ( a survivor who consulted for the movie). Brendan had pretty well made a mess of his life, including booze and drugs, and then found out he got a pretty young lady pregnant. His joining the firefighters changed his life.The movie runs a bit slow in parts, and long at about 2 hours and 15 minutes, but it is extremely well made, focusing ultimately more on the men and women, and overall relationships of everyone, but the fire fighting scenes are quite scary. I know they all wanted to do that job but for me, staying away from fires is more rewarding.
