The Best Fireman Movie since towering Inferno!
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Backdraft may be a glorified soap opera but it is still the best film about firemen ever committed to celluloid.
Finely acted by all involved and with a top notch supporting cast. The story although mirroring every cop drama ever made runs along nicely giving you enough twists to through you off the scent and also to talk about long after the final credits have rolled.
What helps Backdraft stand head and shoulders above it competitors though are the special effects which are excellent. Becoming an integral supporting character, Howard directs the flames as if they were another actor and as fire weaves its magic you can't help but be drawn into the plot.
Despite his oscar successes since this film. Backdraft still remains director Ron Howard's finest moment.
