i be sorry and perhaps this be part of the wave of praise for fireman since 911 and perhaps it an old fashioned story and perhaps it not mean to knock your sock off but i be sorry and this film be awful . a in the title and cliché 49 and i think it have at least that many clichés . it a dreary story ( impressive managing to be dreary when there dangerous fire and life be save ) about a fireman . and his dreary life and tell in a pointless and cene from now flashback to the past style . we begin the film with the hero in peril in a collapse burning building . the entire film be about try to get u to love this guy so we squeeze a few tear out when he meet his end in the finale of the scene from the start of the film . i find it hard to care and wish he would go up in smoke earlier . clichés abound such a death of best friend and love at first site and hazing in a new job and firstborn and a worried wife with a husband with a perilous job and a father figure bos or superior and 2 . 4 kid ( well 2 but close enough ) and sacrifice your life to save others and award for bravery . on and on . it every fireman life and every police officer and nurse and doctor in some way . it be lazy and if it be mean a a life flash before his eye a he die and then god help the poor chap and i be surprise he do not suck in more smoke to go quicker . the flashback be mostly mundane and predictable and dully act and with a soundtrack that could put the laughing cow out of business it be so cheesy and it actually sound like muzak or copyright free elevator stuff . to be avoid at all cost unless you need something to watch with granny of a sunday evening . or maybe if your relate to a firefighter warn your life will end horribly or you will be scar for life if you be a brave fireman accord to this movie . unless your john travolta ( strange velcro style hair in this one . ) .
