Ladder 49



What a sad story. The movie was alright. It wasn't spectacular, or anything, just plain alright. It went through the lives of fire fighters and what their families go through.

There were a lot of technical faults in the movie that made it less believable. Like when they were talking on the radios, most of the time, the main actors didn't say "copy that" or "over" at the end. It's not a two-way... it's a one-way... they need to send the command over that the line was finished.

But the people in the background who were probably real fire fighters were speaking correctly. I dunno, I just picked up a lot. I liked how they flashed back and told us the story behind the fire fighters, but the movie was just okay. No real stand out performances...

  • You know, you don't need the end of your link there ;p

    simply http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101393/ will work. you can chop off the rest ;)

    And no, I don't think I've seen this movie, though, it don't think it's much like it at all according to it's description. Cause Ladder 49 wasn't really an action film where they tried to hunt down firestarters or anything. It was a story about a firefighter's life.
